Hardly a breath of wind to disturb the tranquil waters of Newlyn this morning...

some cracking tubs...
and Capn'tCod will have been smiling all the way during his long steam home with tis little haul of bass on board the Butts...

over at the slip the Ocean pride is now starting her journey on the slip cradle...
with young PD keeping a close eye on proceedings from the comfort of his cradle seat...
as she leaves the water...
trials for the Twilight III may be concluded today...
