Not too impressed with your other boat parked on the other side!

That warms the cockles of the heart. Great to see a gull earning its keep. Wonderful.

Good evening , the ' Reginald ' is slightly older than my Seagull , a 3 masted motor schooner built in 1878 and sunk here in 1915 with many others to block the entrances to Scapa Flow . Later completely blocked by the causeways .
Todays sea trials reasonably successful , 2 boat loads of crabs taken ashore , full throttle unavailable but never stopped !
