Helping Push The Boat up The Beach.
This was a familiar sight during the summer months. Health and Safety would put a stop to this kind of thing nowadays but back in the 1960s it was the thing to do. Lots of holidaymakers' kids would all rush to help push the crab boats up the beach. One of the crab boatmen would push the boat while his partner would throw the next 'skid or skeet' under the boat to roll it eventually to the the dry sand above the tideline where the catch of the day would be sorted and the boat would then remain until the next trip. Often a tractor would help but sometimes pure human effort was all there was.
