    Looks like old fashioned speakers on a sound system..piped music for the lads on deck maybe? 8:)
    is the contraption not just ventilator heads facing forwards?
    and looks like 3 skips stuck in the handrail between them..?
    Maybe it's the prototype o' yon fancy hand driers ye see in the lavvies o' the big shoppin' centres. And here was me, thinkin' these "old salts" were as hard as nails. Safties!! Probably rubbed yon fancy Norwegian cream on their hannies, afore the winch went into "fast gear"! Probably the start o' the "Pampered Deckies"!!
    That's my line shot .. fine fresh bait .. we'll see fit happens fan we start to haul!!! ;) 8:) ;)

    Ach, Ronnie ... think we'll leave her anither tide. Maybe a skate ha'in' a sniff, as we speak.

    The last I saw... the DEVERONSIDE, she was lying at the pier at Aultbea in Loch Ewe in a fairly poor state,a good 30 years ago, but then she was an old boat even then wi at least a 35 year working life behind her, If we,re lucky enough, we a get that way .... 8:)
