The Harbour

Photographs, Video and Stuff
One of our smaller visitors…
Compared to most, this trawler is one of the smallest I have seen on the slipway at Macduff Harbour.
I like looking at these wooden hull fishing boats…
As an old tug man, I can’t help having a soft spot for tugs..
You can’t beat having your bottom scraped…

A cross between a barge, a tug and a dive-support vessel. The C-Fenna is currently helping to connect offshore wind turbine cables to a shore station close to Banff, Scotland. The wind turbine are way out there in the Moray Firth.
…or the Blue Hour, whatever you wish it to be…
You just can’t beat having a new coat of paint on your bottom…
The action end of a modern trawler…

Don’t jump!!!
It’s all very quiet at Macduff Harbour today…
The Shekhina, sitting on the bottom at MacDuff Harbour leans over in the early morning sunshine.
We thought the Voe Jarl had left for foreign shores but, here she is, back in MacDuff again
This interesting little boat came into MacDuff Harbour this morning…
Or, as we used to say in the days when merchant ships carried Radio Officers – QTP MacDuff (in Morse code of course).
All quiet and peaceful at MacDuff…
I have no idea what it is but it has seen better days (a bit like me really!)
(AKA a port hole)
In case you are wondering, these ‘wheels’ stop a fishing boat’s trawl net getting caught on rocks on the sea bed.
Snow in May? Who would have believed it?
Cranes, these days, controlled from a radio-control box. Clever stuff!
Don’t forget to lubricate your parts…
The Fisher Boys and the Serenity cosy on up…
After this posting, there was some debate about where the front wheels for this crane truck were. This image solves the mystery. The front wheels are set back and, in front of the front wheel assembly, there are the extendable jacks which keep the truck from tipping over when the crane part of the truck is lifting heavy weights.

I’m sure they’re used for something…
