Duo-Divers

A Painted Goby (Pomatoschistus pictus) a very common small fish that follows divers around hoping that some small creatures, its next meal, are dislodged.

If you look carefully at shots of Yewglen you will see that she had a pair of rubbing strakes welded onto the side of he hull, another positive bit of identification!

A Sea lemon (Dorididae) on dull purple sea-weed, these nudibranchs are always easy to spot and this shows why!

The bedrock here is rather undulating and carpetted in Dead Mans Finger (Alcyonium digitatum), it's pretty obvious that it is 'very' tidal!

A bit of pipe, you can see the brazed joint along with a 50p piece for a bit of scale

To have a swim and try to........

A good old RAF roundal...used everywhere apart from the pacific in WW2 (apparently they looked too much like the Japanese 'meatball')

A bike.......a bloody bike!

A tiny Long Spined Sea Scorpion (Taurulus bubalis) this one was less than 10mm long!

A scenic of some of the ribs, again plates missing and loads of brittle stars and 'poor cod'

An oyster clamped down on the pier. there were quite a few on the pier but I didn't spot any on rocks under the water.......

An Edible Crab (Cancer pagurus), there a few of these critters about but most if not all are of a size that would mean little or no meat, that said technically they would be legal...

I was stuck three days in this because I decided to stay overnight after picking up the piece of ancient wood that was the winter project 2018/19, was it worth it? Probably.

The carriage was to be made from 'period oak'

A flatfish, species TBC!

By late summer you can't see the individual pipes on the boiler and it appears as a big dulse covered 'lump' but there is a boiler under there, honest!

A typical view of the sten section, all plates and beams

A Lions Mane Jellyfish (Cyanea capillata), when they are about deco stops are always interesting!
