Falmouth Harbour

'Captains' set sail
two huge grey ships 
being refueled - loom over everything else
boats dotted around the harbour at bouys
pleasure boats safely tied alongside  pontoons
out of reach behind the "boat owners only" sign

wind generators on yachts 
busily spin
topping up batteries whilst solar panels take in the sun
Wednesday evening is gig rowing practice 
church bells chime out across the canvas Infront of us

Boats of every kind
all lined-up with the out-going tide
safe behind the harbours arm
the ripples of the water 
reflect sun onto the portholes of some 
as the coast guard boat does it's evening rounds

Pub tables full with chatter
signs displaying fishing trips
and people sat around tucking into award winning fish and chips - seagulls seeing an opportunity 
call out
at the stern of a yacht
a tiny inflatable 
waits at the end of its teather
