Saturday squalls


The money-bag - one cod, end all ready to be stitched back on to the stocking of the trawl...



BF432 Orion, another member of the visiting Scottish prawn trawler fleet in Newlyn between trips...



while over on the New quay, the @Nereus172 gives her twin trawl cod-ends a washing in the harbour...



which inevitably causes any number of disputes amongst the local gull population...



pallets of packaging wait on the quay while the boat unloads its trip...



of frozen at sea langoustine...



which are weighed, graded and frozen while the boat fishes 24/7...



and then on landing go straight to refrigerated transport...



with each box's destination marked...



the real McKay set to cart them away...



Fladda Maid (ex-Crystal Sea II) and her twin-rig prawn trawl...



two more visiting trawlers from further round the Cornish coast...



on survey, off duty...



the genuine article, lined up for landing...



bow shot of the Orion on the North quay...



probably better you can't see so well astern of you sometimes...



all set for a day on the pots...



good to see another young fisherman taken to sea...



on the Mousehole boat...



over in Penzance wet dock the Scilly supply boat, Gry Maritha's replacement is being brought up to standard...



moves to make the lives of queuing customers more comfortable in case of showers for the IoS Steamship Company...



just a few feet longer than the ex-icebreaker yacht conversion...



the Mali Rose arrived a few days ago...



her slab sides...


and welded plating construction...



and rather blunt nose allude to purpose rather than the aesthetics of many ships at sea...



the Karen, nearing the end of her annual refit...



a Falmouth registered classic...



Cadgwith crabber, the Minerva...



nothing, not what you want to see in the Dry Dock...



the old Trinity House buoy service building.

Taking a punt on the mackerel


Homeward bound...



the transport infrastructure for fish from Newlyn is superb...


a few blocks of concrete are all that remain of the old iceworks...


all the 4s from Falmouth...


mini-conveyor belt deck system aboard the scalloper...


name that lifeboat?...


brand spanking new mizzen...


a sea of masts and rigging looking out Through the Gaps...


looking good on the slipway...


the tall ship Irene berthed on the Stone quay...


a family of scallopers...


ishore trawler power...


classy wooden deck of a visiting yacht...


the grim reaper's distant Celtic cousin...


the big one is well ahead this year...


power to the orange team...


classic 104 years old Swedish working boat,  Deodar after sailing down from Milford Haven...


her English counterpart the even older,  Irene...


heading fir the fish market, the mackerel boys return...


that man and his hat...


the elusive, Wiffer...


less not more with Mr Morley...


contré jour...


and in full view...


the Trevose makes her way for ice.
