There is time for a laugh and joke, in the lock, before the (visiting) Lowestoft lifeboat puts to sea. Seemingly on lighthearted manoeuvres.
Rather than rendering assistance to rubber boat borne refugees. Who have, no doubt, been tempted out by today's still conditions in the Channel. The last for a day or two. Perhaps three. The forecast being in a state of early season flux.
Nets are carefully inspected, aboard the inshore fishing boats. Soft spring sunshine prolongs the pleasurable task.
The fleet are allocated their own enclave, replete with weatherboarded shack. In true East Coast style.
Adding some workaday grit to a waterfront otherwise dedicated to the pursuit of leisure. Be that afloat or within its purpose built eateries, stores and quayside living quarters.
