Reaper beached for maintenance

Reaper FR958 is currently beached in Anstruther Harbour for maintenance to the hull at low tide. The work is done entirely by dedicated volunteers. In the summer, this 120 year old wooden boat will be open to the public and will host an educational programme for local schools. She should also be able to attend festivals at other east coast harbours. As a gesture towards Wide Wednesday, the extra is a panoramic view of Anstruther Wester which is where the harbour used to be, long ago. All right, I know this is not a celebration but the obvious celebration today is the birthday of Robert Burns and I couldn't work out how to fit that in.
