Renamed

14.5C with some mist and a few brighter spells. Light breeze.

Usual early grocery shopping then before lunch Apothecary7, Maeve the Deerhound, and I went through to Arbroath for a wander round the harbour.

Berthed next to the fish landing quay was the trawler Olivia Jean. There was a welding crew at work on one of the trawl beams. This is the biggest boat we have seen in Arbroath harbour since the dedger Shearwater that was working in and around the outer harbour last year. Beneath the blue paint we could see one of the former names that the boat has had.

A Google search for vessel information revealed a past of several unsavoury reports such as the example in the following link involving breaches of Maritime regulations.
