To Bryher and back

No fancy outfits and no proper photo shoot today. Instead I've had a day off work which tied in perfectly with a big low tide at lunchtime. I could have stayed home to catch up on the laundry, the bills, the cleaning, blah, blah, blah, but off I went to walk to Bryher and back. This trip would normally entail a three minute boat ride each way, instead today the boat channel was nearly dry and became a veritable thoroughfare with holidaymakers and locals enjoying the novelty of the occasion.


The pilgrimage starts here as we head towards Samson on the left and Bryher on the right.


A couple of sailing boats are left high and dry on this huge tide. 



These guys are all prepared to paddle back to Bryher when the tide floods later today.












My photos were taken by friends and acquaintances I met mid-channel.





This little crab gave me the evil eye, just in case I tried to invade his territory.
















This Frenchman was catching shrimps on the low tide. Makes for a tasty meal!



Looking inland to New Grimsby bay. In the centre of the shot is the gap in the wall where we do my photo shoots in the morning. Where I stand now is the backdrop to these.




Home again.


I'm never happier than when I'm by the sea. I'm an Aquarius and water seems to be home to me - swimming, pottering about in rock pools, bobbing about in our little boat - it's always so therapeutic, so relaxing and totally absorbing. I'm so fortunate to have always lived by the sea and couldn't imagine living anywhere else, and hopefully I won't ever have to. I hope you've enjoyed this small interlude, my away day which is only a stone's throw from my house.
