Outside, Falmouth is beginning to look Christmasy and the little red robins are queueing up to have their photos taken.
In the middle of a storm, one of the crew of Dardenella edged his way along the boom, his feet hanging down on either side. He lay down on the boom and started doing something terribly technical while four people stood beneath him, handing up a tool every now and then. The hail continued to pelt down.
One wondered whether he might have waited an hour or two before doing the work. Being Falmouth. it was a surprise that he was wearing any more than a t-shirt and shorts.The snow had one unexpected advantage: it showed up the grinning smiley face on Dardenella. Can you see it?
