Scraping the bottom

Two men maintaining the hull of their boat

We never see the seaside as a work environment. Oh no...we are too wrapped up in our fish n'chips or ice cream to think about the people who make a living from the sea. But think about what the seaside experience would be like without the boats, nets and crab pots. These seaside resorts and other places would just be empty.

This photograph was taken from the car window. I just loved the way that these two were going about cleaning up the boat that kept the bills payed and food on the table. Just an ordinary job that needed to be done but in this image it clearly shows that theses work places are part of the beautiful coastal locations that make up the British coastline.
