Recordist's notes

There is always something happening at the harbour, even on a damp grey early morning. A new floating quay has appeared since my last visit and although I was due to meet a friend for a swim and sauna in a short while, the temptation to try and capture the creaking sounds as the pontoon was pressed against the solid stone of the harbour had me getting my Dictaphone out of my bag to make an impromptu recording.
