All quiet on the western front


Preparations for this year's Cornish sardine season are well underway...


as the Golden Harvest, the newest addition to the fleet...


 takes on her net...


at high water...


before making her way back to a quayside berth...


where the net can be taken back on the quay to be flaked down in the net pound ready for some trial shots in the Bay...


another beam trawler, the Lisa Jacqueline is up on the slip for below the waterline repairs and anode replacement...


with June traditionally being the slackest  month for trawl fishing, two inshore trawlers have taken the time off for the annual paint up...


don't forget Newlyn Raft Race day later this month...


the land, sea and sky.
