Local fishermen.

 Plenty of silhouttes around the harbour this morning with a dense cloud in the sky.......
enough light for the Sea Lady from Brixham (where the average age of the over 10m fleet is 32 years) alongside the St Georges from Newlyn, (where the average age of the fleet is 40 years) to complete a tranquil scene down the quay........
there's a day's work at least on this footrope......
one of the few boats to land this morning, line caught pollack from the Sea Spray heads off to Trelawney's for processing........
and it looks like mackerel are still around in the Bay, not sure keeping the fridge door open for this long is how the makers intended it to be used.......
and there were two fishermen up to their knees in water this morning.........
 with one a little more successful than the other it seems......
with the rest of the prom ablaze first thing.........
and on the beach, a sure sign that the cuttle season has come to an end with dead cuttle 'bones' appearing at the tide mark - get down and pick them up you parrot owners!
