Another boat scrapped

The Dartmouth regisered St Petroc is the latest local vessel to suffer the decommssioner's cuts in fleet size......
with the wheelhouse and engine making an undignified exit from the harbour being towed behind a tractor.....
while between trips, at every opportunity the boats are getting a lick of paint.....
work continues on the delayed flood prevention scheme to ensure that the stream flowing from the boating pool under the Penzance to Newlyn road......
as ever the local gull population are on the lookout for a ready meal....
with the latest pair-team back in harbour after landing.....
down the road, one of the local Indian Restaurants made one curry too hot and suffered a small blaze.......
The Defiant is still flying her pair-trawling day signal in the guise of the flag for the letter 'T' in the harbour -try the flag quiz here - not to be confused with the French flag which, in other circumstances, may have been raised in support of the French Fisherman across the channel causing chaos by blocking key cross-channel ports!

Many thanks Brackan, I should have known better having been pair-trawling many years ago myself! Though in some ports I have worked from the harbourmaster could get very upset about flying day-fishing signals in the harbour!
