mystery ship

their wasnt room in penzance harbour for the boat at this time so she was going to have to stay in newlyn till space was created.andrew munson the harbour master probably wasnt over impressed with her being here so i stayed out of his way.it was only when i met a security guard down the quay that i was informed that the anti-terrorist squad had been down aboard her looking around the day after our arrival.nobody knew who owned this mystery ship and why she was here so i had pay a visit to the harbour office and explain myself.i was then made to ring a police super-intendant and apologise for wasting his time.they had gathered that she was irish after spotting a loaf of brennans bread through the galley windows,but thats all they knew.

a week went by and i passed the time smashing out all the rotten timber from the fishroom and storing it on deck.hayley and a couple of friends helped me.people came down to have a look around her,there was questionable looks on most of their faces,they all agreed that she was a fine sturdy boat,but possibly a bit on the large side.i expect they all thought i was mad,but there was no backing out now.finally,space was created in penzance and niel the harbour master said to come over.
