Amongst all the many boats of Blakeney the one that caught my eye was the Cockle. I'm not sure if it should be called the Cockle or the rather wonderful sounding Stiffkey Cockle as per
this site, but either way it looked a lovely craft.
While the modern made versions are made of simulated clinker they remain faithful to the old design, one that no doubt has enjoyed decades of pottering around the waters off Blakeney.
What was particularly impressive were the shear numbers in moorings in every creek:
And there were more out on the waters, having fun:
If I lived up at Blakeney it's just the sort of boat that I'd be tempted by.
