It's a swell time to sail


It's never a good time to be on the slip, and the weather at the moment doesn't help...


the Trevsssa IV rides over a swell as the drops her derricks and makes her way out to sea...


as does the good ship Bess with cap'n Kevin aboard, pulling gear will be hard work today for the single-handers...


Friday night produced a bumper harvest of Cornish sardines...


meanwhile work continues to lay in the new power and water supplies for the new ice works, due for completion early April...


a slight exaggeration perhaps...


looks like the new broom is sweeping clean in the harbour...


though this is one piece of scrap iron on the quay that is not likely to be shifted in a hurry, maybe the harbour could run a 'guess the weight of the old anchor' competition...


two of the blues...


blue tubs of sardines bound for FalFish...


take off...


any offers?


a bargain and probably one of the most successful inshore fishing boats ever - designed and built here in Cornwall...


#stormdamage a sure sign big, heavy ground seas have ripped huge quantities of ficus seaweed form the rocks...


no doubt there will be rich picking this weekend for the beach cleaners - gone are the days when Penwith could afford such luxuries as a beach cleaner for Mount's Bay...


the worst of the storm damage has ripped half a dozen huge granite coins from the prom.
