Monday morning and just the one boat's fish for auction.
With just a solitary boat landed over the weekend...
buyers huddle keenly round the 30 or so boxes of fish up for auction...
from the beam trawler Algrie...
although there were a handful of odd boxes from a few inshore men who braved the weather over the weekend...
with a break in the weather this morning some of the fleet like the Rowse crabber Harriet Eve...
make ready to head out to sea...
as does the netter Ajax...
for some there's a day's work overhauling the trawl...
though the Sapphire II is all set to go...
not sure what device this is that was caught in the trawl...
but the cannister was pretty substantial...
attached to some sort of steadying device and balloon rig...
one of the big green boats is ready to go...
as the netters fire up their main engines...
the few boxes of fish speed away from the morning market.
