The Ship

A Memory of Mevagissey.

Myself and my friends were only 21 when we stayed at The Hollies. We had a great holiday and used to go into The Ship, The Harbour L|ights, and The Fountain for drinks and food. I remember we had nice weather, but we were young and it didn't really matter. We went out on a fishing boat called 'The Venus' and its skipper was called John. He lived in a cottage on the quayside and was a 'ladies man'. I wonder if he is still around. We caught mackerel and took it back to The Hollies and they cooked them for our breakfast next morning. Everybody wondered why we were getting preferential treatment! We loved it and came back a few times.
