You can’t beat having your bottom scraped…
A regular at Macduff Harbour
You just can’t beat having a new coat of paint on your bottom…
The action end of a modern trawler…
The Friendly Isle departs Macduff Harbour
One of my favourite work boats…
Or, as we used to say in the days when merchant ships carried Radio Officers – QTP MacDuff (in Morse code of course).
High and dry……
Snow in May? Who would have believed it?
Don’t forget to lubricate your parts…
One of the smaller fishing boats in the harbour…
Where I have spent most of my life!!!
I’ve gone a bit arty-farty today…
Not something you see every day…
I’ve taken photographs of the Seaker before but this one from the top of the harbour wall (a sheer drop down into the sea – EEK!)
You’ll have to take my word for it that BF515 (BF for home port Banff, Scotland) is red (and white) but she is, and she’s being fitted out in MacDuff Harbour. In this image, it is low water and Big Red is resting on the harbour bottom.
We all need courage at the moment…..
That’s Banff, Scotland over in the far distance…
Vegetarians step away from the blog! Just help land 9 boxes of these little critters from a trawler that arrived at MacDuff Harbour about an hour ago. Until I started this job (harbour night-watchman), I had no idea it was possible to catch prawns this size in the waters off the coast of Scotland.
British fishing vessels have a name and a registration number. BF = Banff, Scotland and the registration number 9.
