I would expect it to be more complicated than that. I expect the owner accrues the debt but the harbour can then detain the boat in recompense.

Very topical. Item in the papers last week on tesco selling a child's item with both a spelling mistake and a missing apostrophe in the description on the pack.
"Eats shoots and leaves" by LynneTruss is a great read.

The Hayle Harbour master says the boat is still there and pretty sound. One of the crew has gone, the other is "being looked after locally". The HM thinks that the Wooden Ships Association (?) has been in touch with the skipper and they are planning to put a couple of crew on board for the leg round to the South Coast. Which the HM says will not be for some time given the present series of SW gales. They also said the boat needs tidying up!!

PS All above in a phone conversation; I've never been to Hayle although it looks rather an interesting place.

Good on them. Hopefully they don't make it look to easy and he appreciates what he doesn't know as a result.

The one doesn't follow automatically from the other, though in this case both are indeed true.

Post industrial wasteland, though they keep trying to improve it. Used to be coal ships for the power station, kept the bar open until late 70s. Two foundries in the 19thc, one built the pump that emptied the Zuider Zee.

Thank you for that Peter.
I hope all well with you?
I've never been to Hayle either, in fact my knowledge of the whole of the north coast is limited. Hopefully I'll put that right this summer - but by car this time!!

Sorry to be so crude but I thought that "eats,shoots and leaves" was about a guy who went around to his girlfriends for an excellent dinner,made love,and then went home??
Must be mistaken?
