More Fishing Boats



I almost feel guilty when I eat fish -
fishermen have an extremely tough life and their boats are solid, tough, sassy craft.  In Oban, the fishing boats jostle for space with ferries, day-trip boats, yachts, the lifeboat and the lighthouse boat.










More Oban fishers.












 
The Reaper, a fishing boat built in 1901.  It would have been good to see her in full sail, but that would be a bit dodgy in a harbour as tricky as Oban.









Not sure I'd like to be the one to climb the Reaper's mast to fix a broken shackle at the top.


Fishing boats at Tobermory, Mull. The clouds look as if they are part of a stage set.
