The beach that Hastings Fishing Fleet occupies offers all sorts of photo opportunities, which is why loads of photographers go down there. On this morning I noticed that this boat, RX150 or ‘Roy’s Boys’, was connected to the winch cable. I thought it would be interesting to take the shot looking down the cable.

RX150 took part in the Queens River Pageant as part of her Diamond Jubilee, as can be seen here and here, complete with a Cinque Ports standard.

For those interested I turned the camera around so you can see the winch house. Both photos can be viewed full size in Flickr by clicking on them.
