I'm really enjoying working at the harbour, and seeing all the action, hustle and bustle, the energy that is still around the place. I have heard a lot about how Quotas and Days at Sea have hurt the size of the fleet, and how much of an impact the economic climate has had on the industry.
I was also delighted to be introduced to the Harbour's resident seals, Salt and Pepper who seem to have friends staying with the for the summer, I saw at least three heads popping out of the water!
Another surprise hit me on my very first day. I had naively thought of the harbour to smell of, well, fish actually! Not so. Paint, Oil and Diesel are the dominant aromas wafting through the air.
Maybe I need to get up earlier for the fish market to get that smell!
