The netter Britannia V was brought into Newlyn just before 11pm by the Penlee lifeboat...
after a 12 hour tow 120 miles from Newlyn west of the Scillys, first being picked up by the St Marys boat who then handed the tow of to the Penlee boat, all hands safely back ashore...
to land a good trip of hake,,,
on a busy mid-week market...
with plenty of fish from the beam trawler Billy Rowney...
like these monk...
turbot...
scampi tails...
and plaice...
the Britannia V also landed a few boxes of dogs which still seem to get everywhere...
while the sardine boats filled their boots with top quality MSC Certified sardines...
and a 195kg bluefin tuna...
it seems the cuttle season is underway for the lcal boats...
and those big Mediterranean octopus are still very much in evidence no matter where you fish...
the harbour was busy this morning with boats on the move...
the lifeboat ready to take on board fuel...
having also escorted the Padstow crabber Isabella in through the gaps last night...
well, there's a decade or three of experience twixt the deck and wheelhouse on the Enterprise this morning, even the biggest boat in the port is taking shelter ahead of storm Agnes' arrival!
