Keel to the Sea

Fishing boats bob at harbour. I love colour, something this scene offers. This was a brilliant day...unusually mild for being so early in April. There was an air of anticipation, as though the boats were waiting for crew - to put out to sea.

But some were not to feel the lap of the waves today. The squid jigger was unbaited...dreams of ink, labour, and laughter unrealized.
