A Chilly Short Walk Around the Harbour at Mevagissey


We were in Mevagissey and, my gosh, it was cold. The tide was out and the boats were all higgledy-piggledy. Luckily the boat below had supports and stayed upright.


One good thing about the chill in the air was that there were very few people about. In the holiday seasons it is heaving with visitors.


Next is looking across to the cottages on the harbour side.


As we walked around the harbour the sky changed to varying shades of blue. The
 lighthouse remained silent.


The sea soon started to fill the harbours and a fishing boat was floating in the outer harbour.


Looking across from the outer harbour now and all is peaceful.


I snapped the photos as we walked.


The sea looked bright for a while but changed near the lighthouse.


Here's the lighthouse close up.




The inner harbour gradually filled with water.




More boats - but the weather was still very cold. We made our way home. I always enjoy visiting Mevagissey whatever the weather.


Many thanks for visiting my blog
All good wishes,
Mike.

  1. Hi Mike, I've really enjoyed this trip around Mevagissey. I prefer habours and beaches at low tide, the jaunty angles of the boats and their mooring ropes offer far more interest.
    Lovely photo,s, I've enjoyed seeing the varied types of boats, so colourful too. David.

    1. Many thanks David. It had been a while since we last visited Mevagissey - always something to see of interest and was enjoyable as there were very few other people about - other than a few locals doing bits to their boats. Good wishes.

    1. I suppose we’re all getting old, but let’s just continue to pretend that we are not and enjoy each moment!

    1. Yes there is much to be joyful for as William Henry Davies points out in his poem "we have no time to stand and stare".
