Not quite surrounded by Breton trawlers
VesselTracker's re-styled Cockpit view shows how there is a fleet of Breton trawlers all working in approaches to the Bristol Channel - 'up channel' would be the Newlyn term. Still working despite the bad weather, the biggest of Newlyn's fishing boats the beam trawler St Georges can be seen south of Mount's Bay - well away from the Breton fleet.
