A life in chains...

A fresh coat of sky-blue paint looks good...
suspended half way up the gear....
the port-side trawl on the Cornishman gets an overhaul...
and the windy-gun echoes around the stillness of the harbour....as both sets of gear tower over the quayside....aboard the AA, Crab Da' takes charge on deck....


young Dan Nicholls has now completed 5 trips aboard his uncle's boat the GaryM - he is still trying to find out if it was one of his relatives that sailed to Australia aboard the Mystery over 100 years ago - any information gratefully received!
