Lyonnesse, biggest cat in the port is 'up on the hard' where her net transporter, specially deisgned to handle ring and purse nets, can clearly be seen.....
big beamer gear always attracts interest and today is no exception for the Billy Rowney as a couple of trippers gaze at around 8 tons of shackles and links suspended from the beam......
more of a cat and a half, a visiting multi-hull yacht on her pontoon berth soaks up the afternoon sun.....
another visiting Irish boat, WD211 sits on the new quay....
as Mike and the boys finish off a day's work on the gear......
another load of brown crab from the Pen Y Glas get winched aboard a waiting Portuguese vivier lorry....
never like this in my day! - these days trawl warps come ready marked - orange polypropylene strands are spliced between the lay of the warp, alternating one and two marks at a time so that the man on the winch can control how much warp has been shot and at an even speed from off the drums of the winch.....doing this job in Newlyn is awkward as the warp has to be payed out and measured down the quay under tension.....
plenty of hands on the quay to give young Edwin, single-handed tralwerman a hand landing....
