But I'm pretty sure the boats, bouy and buildings don't really have a magenta tint...?

Some people cant even see it when its there, I recall @droj putting up a colour test some time last year and I found that I could not differentiate some colours low down in the blue/green spectrum they merged into the same colour for me and I could not separate them even though lots of other folk could. For instance the green of the seaweed and blue sky look realistic and correct to me but the patches of mud in between look magenta.

But how about the whites of the boats, bouy and buildings? How do they look to you?

Without having been there its difficult to say regarding the boat colours. I notice the cast more in the second shot and there is a difference on the boats between the 2 shots. I think it might be more likley the colour palette of the film responding to slight differences in exposure.

The boat is cream, the bouy is tending towards cream, the only building that, I see as white, Is the tall building a couple of inches in on the RHS with the grey roof. Try setting white balance point on that. The next best white is the top edge of the boat on the right in the second picture.
The others only you can see what colours were present there, The gelcoat on fiber glass does not stay white very long, at best only a few years before it fades and deteriorates.

Not noticeably excesive, the clouds in the sky are the biggest offender and the roofs opposite next. What have you edited?So no magenta in them then
Google the kodak info and see what your processor thinks.

I'll live with the magenta in the sky then.
I've probably edited the exposure slightly and tint and wb for the main boats/scene.
I'm not sure what Googling "the kodak info" is supposed to do for me......

Good for you, I always just assumed it was your artistic interpretation.

Could solve a lot of wasted time.....

The magenta tint has been reported to Kodak by tens of thousands of people all over the world who, like me, identify it as a defect. Kodak investigated the widespread problem and came to a conclusion as to its cause and possible remedy.
Maybe you should learn to love black and white as your nearly colour blind.
JOKE!

You can just make out a building at the upper left in this next shot, and a faint zig-zag below. That zig-zag is the mountain track that I used to descend several hundred metres of elevation!

There's maybe a slight hint of purple visible in the clouds. The greens look fine. I don't know what they looked like in reality, but they don't look unnatural at all.
The overall images are maybe a little bit on the warm side, but not massively so. Whether it needs correcting is down to artistic choice.
I took a screengrab and did a quick and dirty Auto Color correction in Photoshop so you can see what that does (original on the left):

The greens look weird. Because they are green. I don't like green...... That was all I said initially and then all the magenta comments came along. Yes, the clouds show some magenta, but the main subjects such as the boats don't and seeing as they are the main subjects, that's what the wb and tint are set towards.
I prefer a warmer (maybe magenta) look rather than a cold, green tint. The whole point of me shooting film is that it is what it is. I don't want to be messing with loads of sliders and changing HSL etc That's what digital is for.
