Great respect to these guys, and an important part of Cornish history. Proud to have supported their purchase of buildings to maintain their way of life.

Great to see ‘Plugger’ as a young man. Spent a pleasant few weeks with him on board a Cadgwith residence yacht, sailing across the Atlantic. Just before COVID. Hope you’re keeping well mate!

The mystery is ......back in '83, why wasn't Sharky Stevens snapped up by some forward-looking TV Co?
