A Timeless Cornish Gem set on The Helford River

SERVICING THE MOORINGS

I joined Brendan Rowe and his team of 4 from Seawide Services this morning as they serviced the trot and swinging moorings.  They have all been checked and cleaned for the Spring.  It involves lifting each buoy out of the water and then a driver going down in zero visibility to check on the connection to the concrete or granite blocks.  This morning I can report that it was fairly cold, mizzling, 9 degrees water temperature and virtually zero visibility.  We had all the chains, fittings and buoys for  trots 1-15 replaced last year.
