A Day In The Life Of A Fisherman

[Julian de'Courcy]

Got to the quay side finding a boat moored alongside, the prop had been damaged from the last trip out. Within the day it had been removed repaired after a hundred and fifty mile round trip and fitted back in place. A day in the life of a fisherman.

I just happened to be there.

A lovely continuity of storyline on these Julian. Images like these will be a cherished resource in the future. You obviously live in a lovely neck of the woods.

Nice series, Julian. Could have done without the scary second one

 

[Glenn Clabo]

Wonderful series Julian.
Just wondering...we...at least those of us in the Navy...called them "screws". Props were for planes. Does anyone over there use that term?

Thank you Tom . The idea of these and others I take at this location, are about documenting. Now whether they are wanted in the future is not up to me but they will be there and available anyway. Yes Cornwall is a very interesting neck of the woods.

Well I wonder that Glenn. But Screw here has other connotations, but not the reason. I used Prop as an abbreviation of propeller. Which I think is used on a more regular basis here. Screw is not unknown of either.

Very fine series Julian, a documentation I believe lots of people in the area shall appreciate. Take care.

Thank you Ivar. We do have a local museum which holds and displays many fine photographs which give great clarity to how things were materially in the days of sail and after. I've always found such photographs to be a source of great interest.

A bit late to add much other than to say I enjoyed the sequence. A wonderful set Julian.
