The team at Baboo Gelato were pleased they had opened early today as they too had a 'treat'.
They were able to watch a boat being delicately lifted and placed into the harbour at around 9.45am from the ice cream kiosk in West Bay.
The video was shared by Baboo West Bay Facebook page with the caption: "We came down to open early today and boy are we glad we did. What a treat."
James Brigden-French, who works for the Bridport-based gelato company, said he hadn't seen it happen before and believed the boat belonged to a local fisherman.
