‘Like another lobster, Piers?’ asked John as he extracted his latest catch from the lobster pot he keeps in the marina near to Play d’eau. Did I hesitate?
John, who lives on his sailing boat, White Magic, keeps his pot tethered to the pontoon and although only 6′ from the granite side of this former quarry, it’s a sheer 85′ straight down to the bottom.
So this is our second lobster from John in two days. What a life!

A berth holder at Beaucette has suggested, ‘In competition to Sony’s newly launched waterproof mobile, iPhone begins deep sea trials…’
It’s rather like the angler’s tale … I swear the fish was this big (as shown by the lobster’s claws).
