A crane arrived on East Looe quayside to return the boats laid up on the quayside, for repair and repainting, back into the river.
Unfortunatley I got down there a bit late,
all the glass bottom boats were already back in the water back on their moorings over West Looe,
and the last yacht was already being hoisted over the quayside.
Between Dung Gate and Looe RNLI's Albatros boathouse on East Looe's Buller quay,
the old landing steps have been removed
and supports are being installed for a new floating pontoon.
Acting as a ramp which moves with the tide this new pontoon will make boarding the Glass Bottom, fishing charter and speedboats easier for everyone.
It will also help the RNLI and emergency services to land any casualties easier and quicker.
The steel uprights are vertical which illustrates the pitch of the older quay wall.
The sun sets over the Banjo Pier and East Looe beach.

The Tanner brothers new venture, Quayside Fresh and STR.EAT PL13 have closed for the day.
I was not in Looe when the pontoon decking was craned into the river and floated into position.
Now in position the glass bottom boats are already making use of this new facility.
The rockface stabalisation at Pennylands is also complete.
