Out Skerries (clip 1)

The clip opens with a description of the danger of the Skerries coast and the natural harbour the islands offer. The fishing boat the "Comet" is shown at mooring. We then visit with the boat's crew as they prepare their nets. The skipper, Jackie Hughson, is shown taking readings in the wheelhouse before a catch is hauled in. The crew is then shown eating a meal of fried fish and bread. We next see the family of Maisie Anderson with her children breakfasting before heading to school. As the children walk to school we see shots of the island, the post office and the surrounding waters. The schoolchildren play cricket before the bell rings. The clip ends with Maisie visiting the general shop run by Meg Hughson where the women discuss the success of the day's catch.
