This week, BBC4 provided a feast of salty seagoing action:
'Sea Feaver' had some rare homemade Super8 footage of surfing action at Sennen and Gwenva - look closely 42m 56 seconds in and you'll spot ex-fishermen and co-founder of Scewjack Surfing Village (the world's first surf holiday venue) Chris Tyler along with some other notorious characters of the day - all regulars of the Swordfish in their day.
'Somewhere at Sea' follows actor Timothy Spall around the UK coast in the unlikely vessel for such a journey - the barge that he and his wife Shane live a board in London. This week they make the potentially hazardous journey around the Lizard and Land's End - though regulars of the blog will know that the barge Matilda was holed up in Newlyn for several weeks waiting for a weather window before attempting to go 'round the corner' to St Ives.
Welcome to Through the Gaps, the UK fishing industry's most comprehensive information and image resource. Newlyn is England's largest fish market and where over 50 species are regularly landed from handline, trawl, net, ring net and pot vessels including #MSC Certified #Hake, #Cornish Sardine, handlined bass, pollack and mackerel. Art work, graphics and digital fishing industry images available from stock or on commission.
