Sunday, 6 January 2019
Busy weekend in and around Newlyn.
There's always something to see off Lands End looking towards the Longships...
or around the rock known as the Brisons...
local boats, like the crabber Nimrod who work close to the shore...
during daylight hours are lucky enough to be kept watch over by those admirable volunteers who man the Cape Cornwall watch station...
the second only to be opened and run by the National Coastwatch Institution - if you want to volunteer as a watchkeeper then visit the website here...
and who knows, you could soon get to enjoy stunning views like tis on a regular basis...
just landed, the netter Britannia V...
just made it home before dark, Rowse Fishing's latest crabber to join the fleet - the Cesca, the second vessel to bear that name - she was fitted out in Cape Town, South Africa then made a three week sea voyage as cargo
aboard the 399m container ship, MSC Altamira...
before arriving in the Port of London where she was put in the water and steamed back starting yesterday...
