Back on the long stone jetty a time when the smacks came in splitting the tide with a daily haul - marlin flags, yellow-fin flags, shark flags and all on the riggers.
In come the seiners, longliners, and skipjacks. The crabbers, the Merry May, Mama's Revenge, Rock Bottom Sally, all going bayside with their wares and worn bows.
Each in it's cutting and bobbing joy, blows a horn for the jumping jut-finger kids - the day done on the shore when the waves came a' roiling.
The jiggers in for the market docks and a couple a bucks for the gap-toothed waterman gathering legs on the rocks.
Two for a steak a' tuna Five for a pound a' nurse Blue Marlin not for sale, my boy, it's for the record books.
