Its anchors away in this St Cyrus garden, overlooking a wide expansive beach behind and below me. Here we are looking west, towards fields of rapeseed that seems to do well in this Northern part of the British Isles at almost sea-level. This was a very busy salmon fishing area where migrating fish were caught going up and down the river Esk and so there would be no shortage of all kind of rope but more likely this thick rope was brought from one of the bigger ships visiting the nearby Montrose port. The approaching rains you can see here never did get to us. -Correction , yes it did some hours later.
I wish you all, a great weekend, Herb
