Ashes to Ashes

A morning working on the sinkers at the bottom of the slip, inspecting and replacing chain. A convivial group of us - IG, MP, DB (the new harbour secretary) and of course the ex-harbourgruppenfuhrer who just can’t keep away. The incoming tide eventually stopped our work, but only temporarily, as we’d then enough water to haul them back out into the harbour with the workboat. 
While we waited for a sufficient depth of water, I noticed a small family group arrive at the harbour wall to dispose of a loved one’s ashes. I fear we ended up with a fine dusting over our bobbing buoys. Let’s hope that it was exactly what they would have wished for.
