Port of Newport

The Port of Newport is a very active fishing port, with a fish-processing plant on the docks. The owner of our VRBO works for them and has for many years.
So on the dock, places are reserved for fishermen, the boats are active, and the atmosphere is, well, fishy! Added into that is the Sea Lions noise and it becomes quite a symphony at some places along the docks.
We had a great brunch and then wandered the docks, Diana in the shops and myself along the bay. Here's some of the shots from today.

Come and buy fresh caught fish and crabs from the boats.






The comedians were out in full force - fascinating to watch and noisy to listen to. So much interaction and then quickly, nothing. Everyone lays down. Then a young buck tries to get on the float and away we go again. Lots of noise and flashing of teeth but never saw a real bite.









Newport has this historic bridge - quite beautiful.
