Small flecks of rain in the air and a strong wind coming in out of
the southwest. It is a cold grey day: not a classic of summer. On
the water a small fisher is just returning to her mooring: riding
up the Channel before turning to approach her buoy, pushing up against
wind and tide, with the helm moving between wheel and foredeck to
secure the boat to the mooring in a clever manoeuvre well executed.
