Pictures From Mountbatten Breakwater, Plymouth, --#5 --The Pilots Boat #1
This is the first of three shots of the local Pilots boat,that is based at Sutton Harbour,and guides the larger boats in and out of port,as required. This picture shows the boat as it,passes me ,heading towards the end of the breakwater, where it will turn to port,and head out into Plymouth Sound, and the main Breakwater.The light was quite changeable as you will see in the next two shots,, which were all taken in a short amount of time.
After i had taken some unwanted items to the local tip, last Monday evening,i went on to Mountbatten Breakwater,to take some pictures.This breakwater was built around1878 to protect Sutton Harbour and the Cattewater,at the mouth of the river Plym. During WW2 this was a flying boat base, and was barred to the public. In the 1990's,the Plymouth Development Corporation, took over the area,and the breakwater was once again,returned to the people of Plymouth. It gives great views out into Plymouth Sound,and also of Plymouth Hoe and the waterfront.
This series of pictures were taken over about an hour and a half in the evening,at high tide, and it was very windy. But it wasn't raining !!!!!!!!!!
I hope you will enjoy the pictures:-)))

Ooooo...it was blowing. These men in small boats who guide the men in large ships....they are brave and without them I fear there would be many ships floundering.
AN excellent shot Mike
