Monday

Not what you expect to see when there's another storm warning - Catamaran Ingeluli came from Falmouth and later had problems trying to get into Penzance Wet Dock as the SSE wind had really got up - Penlee Lifeboat was called out to help but it had managed to get in safely. One person and a dog evidently

Jim had to wait until rain had passed before the morning walkies - Palm trees indicating a SE wind

Cement Carrier Ronez had come round from St Ives Bay where it had been sheltering and was pottering around the bay all day - she's heading for Guernsey - so waiting for conditions to improve. To the left is the Catamaran

National Grid guys - looks like the Cherry Picker couldn't get there - so up he went

Love this expression from Maisie

Better shot of Ronez - very low sided vessel

Guys heading for the next pole along the line - being supervised by Wooster

Sea conditions still quite wild

Afternoon walkies - under a darkening sky as Storm Pierrick approached (named by the French)

At this time the wind was still from the SSE and bitterly cold

Just a little brightness

Very distant shot in bad conditions of Penzance Promenade getting a battering

The storm surge and Spring Tide taking more of the cliff away

I suddenly noticed that the wind seemed to have dropped and checked and there we were in the centre of the low - shortly after, the wind went round to NW - 73mph at 8.44pm and still over 60mph
