Sunny Monday's busy market
The promenade flags hang limp, a sure sign...
of fine weather as the Monday morning mist gives the Bay an almost surreal aura...
signs of the weekends protest meeting against Monsanto are all over the promenade...
as work continues on the new Whery Town skatepark...
dozens of boxes of the Trevessa's megs are stacked four high to save market floor space...
along with a good shot of lemons...
and a sure sign that the water has warmed, plenty of reds moving across the grounds...
even some summer mackerel are finally succumbing to the...
lines of the local boats...
along with the beautiful bass...
and a few blues form the boats working off in the deep water...
quick enough to spot breakfast, a handful of gulls try their luck...
Lady Maureen, one of Brixham's finest beam trawlers graces the quayside in Newlyn with her presence
the latest netter to join the Hosking fleet slays alongside the Silver Dawn...
solid looking oak-on-oak French built Abbi is the latest ship to join the fleet...
more steel has gone aboard the Resurgan as she slowly gets put back to a fishworthy state again...
time for a tone and a half of ice to go aboard the ring netter Asthore as this year's Cornish Sardine season gets under way...
sweating under the morning son another new boat...
gets a gear change, the St Ives registered Tegen Mor is a tidy little ship...
solo gull fly past.
