And on the first day of work, Commander barge was joined by even more cranes (there are five in the pic, plus a digger). Not sure what the steel structure just about visible in the centre of the pic is for.

01 December 2020 - 14-22-38
Meanwhile down below the demolition, there's a new shed. Hopefully temporary. It isn't contemporary.

Duelling barges. Not sure the yacht on the left would like to be called a barge. It's the rather sleek 'Naughty Girl. On the right is Pilgrim.
And both are doing their best to brighten up the town of Dartmouth in these dark times.
------------------------------
Christmas lights afloat

01 December 2020 - 18-47-27
Naughty Girl does hold the candle at present. Mainly because of the star atop its mast.
I wonder how it got there...........check out 23rd November for the answer.

We don't get all that many jet skis come into Dartmouth. And some even manage it without speeding.

Hawker Hunter T72 XE688

This was a bit of a surprise, and a delight. A Hawker Hunter which were first built in 1951. This plane was rebuilt and flew again for the first time in January. Today it flew past Dartmouth three times before heading down the coast and back again. It has quite a history - originally sold to South America it has come back and been restored with a new identity

Rainbow over Dartmouth

20 December 2020 - 09-19-06
An early rainbow this Sunday morning and it arced across Dartmouth ending up, for us, right on top of Noss-on-Dart marina.
So it is now official, the place is going to be a goldmine.

The sharp line of a storm Bella downpour passing down river. The little storm took about twenty minutes to pass through.

The noise as it approached was eerie. It sounded like a train approaching.
