Pacific Swift towed in by Penlee Lifeboat

Berthed outside the Border Agency's Searcher, the sail training vessel Pacific Swift after being towed in by the Penlee Lifeboat in the early hours of Sunday morning.........
probably the largest vessel the Penlee crew have had to deal with in a rescue mission.....
unusual weather conditions on Monday morning saw a low fog rolling down the land under a blue sky and flat calm sea......
the crabbers waiting to take on more bait.....
also in port, another customs vessel, the Valiant......
lays outside the Belgian flagged beam trawler Dora et Labora that has not move since she landed last week.......
making two lifeboats in port, the Ramsgate boat is currently on passage......
a shot across the bow of the Border Agency vessel Searcher......
and, as ever, a temptation too great......
Mr Bick can't help but smile as Mr Tonkin exchanges some early morning banter with auctioneer Olly.....
subdued lighting.
