Keeping Up With the Jones?s
I just had to dig out some old photos. All of these were taken in Stonehaven Harbour (Scotland) or not far off the coast of Stonehaven. A friend of mine went out with us one day and took some snaps. She also took the incriminating photo of the boat when the skipper left me in charge for a week while he went home for a visit. I had to put the boat into the inner harbour, which was no mean feat with all the little pleasure craft cluttering up the place. I bumped into one of them - no harm done - and after I retired to the pub for a well earned pint, the boys made some L-plates out of fishbags and put them in the rigging. (For the non-British among you, L-plates are what learner drivers have to display on their car before they get their license.)

Sorry about the quality of the photos; I don’t have a scanner so I took photos of them with my digital camera.
