Early winter, temperatures are down, but the sea has not yet frozen, a common chore for the marines (marine biologists that is - not the sort in the services) is straightening and cleaning the nets after they have been used ready for next time. Here, done on the jetty. Quite gentle and therapeutic after all the recent effort. The net had to be stored correctly as next time it was going to be used we'd be bouncing about in a small boat with hardly any elbow room setting it at dusk.
