Friday

Setting off on another wonderful day

In the foreground the trawler Guardian towing an upside down Trimaran which capsized yesterday - the poor sailor was winched off the upturned hull by a Merlin helicopter from RNAS Culdrose and happened to be on an exercise in the area. The poor guy had sailed across the Atlantic only to turn over around 4 miles from Porthcurno. Guardian was in the area and went to help and took the Trimaran under tow and brought it into Mount's Bay - sadly with the mast hanging underneath it couldn't just be towed into Newlyn. The tug Obervargh had been summoned  from Falmouth

A hot looking Tegen on an early morning walkies

Wooster not bothered by the heat

Rather lovely Musk Mallow on the field

Strange lines out on the sea

Newlyn tug Danmark came out to join Guardian

Maisie watching me in the garden

Multratug 3 towing floating crane Rambiz to Avonmouth

Reckon Summer is really here

Since the heat haze was affecting our view of the goings on I walked down Boat Cove Lane to try to get a better view of them righting the boat - sadly they had moved back up the bay

My nightmare as I walked through the village

The Ferries from The Mount off to Porthleven (I think) seem to remember it's done in memory of a past boatman

Tug Obervargh out in the bay with the upturned trimaran - have just noticed that it has now gone into Newlyn

Lots of Gatekeeper butterflies around now

Busy out on Men du Point

Bonnie Grace came in close this evening

James got into his boat and rowed off

Heading back to Newlyn
