Saturday action
Three of the biggest netters in the port lay nose to tail...
as work on the Resurgam's winch get underway...
with a few instructions from the shore...
there's still a few jobs to be done on the beam trawl...
looks like the new ice works is taking shape...
yet more damaged pots come ashore...
let's hope it isn't all down to volunteers to put Newlyn back together again...
but at the moment the path by the Green is still closed to the public...
there was plenty of flow here a few wells ago...
plenty of working deck area in the new Imogen III...
visiting Dutch beam trawler, Z402 Nooitgedacht...
shows off her 3m beam trawls and tidy working deck...
and like all boats working a long way from home carries plenty of spare gear like trawls, stocking and cod ends...
all hands to the winch...
the steel works...
two days fishing from the Ajax testimony to just how much fish id out there at the moment...
as the flashing blade of the Ajax's mate, Tom Hicks makes short work of filleting some pollack...
up come more fish...
down goes the hands...
as the skipper takes time to Tweet the latest landing info from the Ajax...
strike a pose, nice one Matt...
before taking more damaged nets ashore for mending...
happy to be home, "here's looking at you babe"...
another bag of damaged nets goes ashore...
piles of beach pebbles put to good use.
