PART TWO!………..
.
.
It’s not the prettiest beach I admit, but at least there’s no risk of being hit on the head by a coconut!
There are crates, nets and buoys all over the place These old fishing boats have sailed from here for generations. Some have more patches than my gran’s patchwork quilt, but most of them launch daily come stormy water or still and usually return with crateloads of fish.
They sell their catches to the seafood market long the coast. I prodded a lobster there once. Wretched thing snapped my finger. I got my own back though – I ate it!

The picture looks very much like the far end of Hastings beach from where fishing boats operate. I posted some very similar pictures a few weeks back.

Great climax, Keith
Thanks so much, Neil!
Yes, we all eat the rewards from the efforts of these hardy fishermen folk. I trust the lobster was delicious, even though you had a bandage on your throbbing finger.
I knocked up a lobster thermidor and it was indeed delish!
Dear Keith,
That’ll show that lobster. Bon apetite. Good story.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Indeed, pinch me at your peril!
Thanks so much, Rochelle.
oops, revenge is sweet
so true!
He seems to be a jaunty tour guide! The lobster was wise to clip his finger. It’s the reverse of “don’t bite the hand that feeds you’.
So true, that didn’t occur to me!
You won!
I did, yeah!
Nice story Keith. Yes your pictures appear to be of the same location.
Thanks Sadje, I wonder if it is!
You can always ask.
And I’m sure the lobster was even more delicious than usual!!
Oh yes!
Ha, ha! Love it! I enjoy a humorous take.
Me too! Thanks, Clare.
Keith, I love the humor and charm in your writing!
Much love,
David
That’s so kind of you, David, thank you.
Hope that lobster was delicious 🙂
The best one ever, and I’ve had a few!
I don’t doubt that lobster was all the more delicious for having snapped him!
Oh yes! I ate it chilled, for it’s said that revenge is a dish best served cold!
Sooo good. Sorry, not sorry 🙂
I really like how you described the place. I love marinas. Have ridden past them many times on my bike and love the sounds of the rigging and the busy-ness of it.
Me too, whether they be filled with luxury yachts of weathered fishing boats.
That’ll show the lobster who’se boss. Although I suspect it doesn’t care any more 🙂
Served it right for being so shellfish! Definitely past caring now.
🙂
I remember being pinched by a crab while shopping in chinatown. It hurt so bad that I bought it and cooked it right away to exact my revenge. 🙂
Ouch! Good for you, plaridel!
Revenge is a dish best served boiled…with butter. Great story.
Absolutely, I added some cream and a splash of brandy for good measure!
Yum.
Revenge of the omnivore.
Omnivorous, that’s me! Cheers, James
LOL
Delighted to have amused you, Dawn!
A lovely example of bathos.
Indeed! Thanks so much,
The resemblance is incredible!
Bet that lobster learned a valuable lesson, albeit a bit too late.
Another grand story, dear Keith.
