Y is for yacht - here at Mevagissey in Cornwall
A tourist honey spot - you'll find lots of winding lanes and cobbled streets - bars, cafes and all the associated tourist paraphernalia. Lots of yachts, sailing boats and fishing vessels in the harbour.
Once a thriving fishing village Mevagissey has suffered like other ports with the decline of the fishing industry.
Since my visit to Cornwall I have discovered that my ancestors came from Truro and were tin miners ( that other famous Cornish occupation )

Ah, more yachts!! Great picture - oddly relaxing (which I know from bitter experience yachting is not relaxing at all!!)

Maybe someday I'll own a yacht. Ha! Or maybe not. At least I can dream. ;-)
Oh Cornwall beautiful enchanting Cornwall, mysterious Celtic land of my imagination! I love it! Good and great choice, Petrus! Thanks for showing the Mevagissey. So you are a Celt, Petrus!
Great Y.
Wish I had one.
My Toyota 4Runner is my Land Yacht.
It doesn't float for too long.

Hello Petrus,

Happy ABC greetings
Very good Y choice. I didn't think of that one.
I enlarged the photo and can see quite clearly it's a beautiful spot. Another place for me to see next time I'm over there. :D
A I said to mrs n. I could just jump in one of those yachts and sail to Nice right now.
There's something grand about looking at all these great boats. Have a great week...

Great choice! LOL!
I would love a ride on this!
Cornwall is on our short-list for next years holiday. In fact, we should have gone this year, but we had to postpone it.
A pity, I can see!
Yachts seem to be a today's favorite! And yours are nicely place in this quaint town! Good one!
Cheers, Klaus
Lovely photos. I especially like the reflections in the water and the houses climbing the more distant hills. My ancestors came from Cornwall, but I have only visited it briefly.
nice y
