Expert nr.3 from a short story that I wrote after a night out 'shrimping', to accompany the photo-reportage: ‘A special night’
........ A date was set; it only depended on the weather now.
We couldn’t believe our luck, what an opportunity!
From then on, our ears were glued to radio weather forecasts, several times a day!
How unnecessary! The sea speaks for itself, if you know the listening code.
The old fishermen could tell you with great accuracy, their information so much juicier.
OK, so what, some tall stories thrown in for good measure, but what raconteurs!
You certainly left with a smile and more knowledge.
How impersonal, our electronic gadgets!
…Beckoning in the distance, the harbour entrance.
The other boats leaving one by one, slotting in, from left, right and centre, different docks.
Black silhouettes against a clear blue sky.
The light had that incredible quality, so sought after by photographers and painters.
The sun casting a warm glow on the old buildings and docks, with the long shadows in fascinating contrast to the glittering sea.
…The skipper steered the boat with a steady hand.
We gently rocked towards the ends of the two piers, people on both watching and waving.
I remembered the many times I stood there, doing the same and dreaming of adventure. M, (*_*)
