Another serendipitous moment as Bay Protector and MTS Vulcan fuss around Skate 4, as she leaves Newlyn with a new crane aboard.

Bet you hadn t thought you d be taking shots of them from seaward, for a change.
Can a Jack Up Platform be photogenic? I think it is. That s a fine size crane.
 
No idea at all, I had; Bay Protector and MTS Vulcan are rather shy creatures (except in Falmouth that is).
Odd thing is that I had made a note to go over and see the crane, but it did not transpire... so here it is !!
