Work at the Dry Dock dries up

Ship Repairers and Penzance Dry Dock......
apart from water, the dry dock is empty at the moment, not a good sign.......
work continues on fitting a new stern gantry aboard the Elizabeth N, with one eye on the future, looks like the boat will now have the capability to fish with trawls as well as beam trawl gear.....
ready ro rock and roll, hydraulic reels have are now in place on the stern of the tuna fleet flagship, Nova Spero - on french tunny pole boats there were tradtionally three lines worked across the stern, nicknamed the mother-in-law, father-in-law and in the middle, the a***hole!.....
aboard the Nova, skipper Edwards will be hoping that at the end of his first trip the bow marks will be down to the 2.8 mark!.......
some high quality engineering work is in evidence on the beamer....

bet the makers of cable ties would be surprised to find that their products are used as a deterrent to sea birds to prevent them from sitting and then s*itting on the rails of fishing boats.......
no prizes for guessing where the scalloper Mattanja hails from......
back to the pontoon berth after a day on the mackerel for SC50.
