Of course I mean the view from our bedroom window, curtains drawn back to greet the morning, and nothing but sea before us; if you peeped your head around from the other side you would see Chris and me sat in bed, and enjoying our cups of tea. Well, there’s not always nothing but sea, sometimes a passing fishing boat catches our attention; or canoeists, or sailing boats that come in close to shore.

On this grey, misty morning a relatively large vessel, accompanied by a smaller boat, chugged into view and lingered in the patch of sea right in front of our window; we wondered what they were doing. At first I thought they were fishermen. I rushed upstairs and grabbed my Canon camera with the telephoto lens. The best of the shots are below.
