Monday morning in Newlyn
It has taken the best part of a week for the weather to even begin to look settled which means most of the action has been in the harbour where projects like the massive overhaul of Rowse's new crabber...
which includes removing most of the contents of the main propulsion unit from the boat for overhaul continue despite the wild weather...
so this morning saw a welcome sight as the Cornish sardine boat, Pelagic Marksman completes the hauling process surrounded by hundreds of eager gulls...
less than a mile from the harbour entrance...
just as the Trevessa IV comes down the slip...
the netter, Harvest Reaper lines up under the ice works to take ice for her next trip...
back in port, the Pelagic Marksman makes ready...
to land her fish...
the market refurb is well underway sporting a new roof and new doorways...
quiet enough this morning save for the gulls wheeling on the lookout for breakfast.
