Lo and behold it is #FishyFriday again!
With air temperatures still low and the sea warming under the influence of the warm waters from the Gulf Stream...
this time of year features many morning like this with a heavy low cloud hanging over the land and the sea...
looks like Cormac have been busy on Newlyn Green making it look a little more presentable...
Tom's view east is somewhat restricted...
and the netting fleet have opted to stay in port today...
only two beam trawlers, the Trevessa IV and the Sapphire II put their fish on the market this morning...
with megrim soles making up the bulk of the catch...
into the void...
the peace and quiet of the harbour was disturbed by a small flotilla of ex-Navy patrol boats left the port...
and headed for the Scillies...
with them blissfully unaware of the Mount over the other side of the Bay.
