With the Mount barely visible in the background a Guilvenec registered trawler heads for the gaps......
passing the Anglian Princess still at anchor......
the Bara An Aod (one of three boats in the 'bread' fleet, bara is Breton for bread, she was the Concarneau registered Salangane) makes the gaps and heads for a berth.......
