Would one of our boats like to make this?!

News from North of the border for all fans of the BBC Trawlermen series; here's John Buchan skipper of the Ocean Venture opening this year's fish fest looking a tad apprehensive - well guess what, he's just put ashore a trip of £100,100 - bet his pal on the Amity has a wry smile on his face!
Closer to home the new scallop handling system on the Jacoba is taking shape....
with a brand new set of rollers waiting on the quay to be fitted....
With all the mention of Plymouth fish market - check out this archive pic - 'Gentleman' Jim Nixon of seiner Scarlet Thread fame and his 'general factotum', and now market manger at Plymouth, Pete Bromley.
It won't be long before the Newlyn Fisherman's memorial bronze statue is put in place - here the ground is under preparation.
