It's a colour snap. Not that you would know it. One of those black and white grey days when it's best to stay in. The headland on the Kingswear side is almost lost. That horizon isn't.

The pontoon was installed to encourage seals to use it rather than boats for their sunbathing activities. It seems that it is only at the end of the season that they got the memo.

This was more an exercise to see if I could snap anything in the gloom of an October night. It's a yacht called Hendricks being motored in to Darthaven marina. There's a couple more snaps inside of the lorry traversing the banjo in Kingswear.

The second RNLI call out in a week for reports of people in trouble in the river late at night. This alert turned out to be a man on the Kingswear shore calling to his girlfriend on the other side. Both lifeboats attended both incidents. The gentleman concerned in this case was handed over to the police for a word in his shell-like.
