Plenty of yachts pass Land's End.

The VesselTracker AIS system picked up a huge number of yachts making their way past Land's End, a sort of Monday morning get away!

In fact, the fleet are on their way to Dún Laoghaire on the second leg of the Le Figaro - La Solitaire race that takes in France and Irleand.

Visiting yachts fill pontoon berths at Newlyn Harbour.

 No sign of any faces in these clouds over Mount's Bay this Monday morning.......

 looks like the Mission has been thrown a lifeline.......

 the White Heather is down by the head again.......

 as the fish are brailed from the tanks......

 at low water......

 before dropping in to the waiting bins......

 lined up on the fish market ready to go to the processor.......

 blocking out the sun.......

 inside the fish market here are a few langoustine on offer......

 while Roger has been dory bashing with his new rig.......

 and their is a good run of haddock - which will see many discarded as the current quota can be caught easily in 24 hours by even small trawlers like the Imogen II........

 at 3.4 kg this must be one of the biggest tub gurnards landed on the market this year - a great fish when baked buried in a mound of damp sea salt........

 a box of bass gone to the man on the South coast.......

 Mario has a few bongos of brown crab on the quay.......

 there's plenty of work to be done aboard the beam trawler Algrie.......

 it doesn't seem to matter how many berths are free these days there are plenty of passing yachts to fill the spaces.......

 back in through the gaps, the Billy Rowney makes her way to the quay......

as the visiting ring netter Silver Star heads for the gaps.

Radio 4 featured reduction of discards in the South West beam trawl fishery.

Listen again to the BBC R4 PM programme as Eddie Mair presents this evening and hear work being done to reduce discards in South West Beam Trawl fishery.

Sales at Sainsbury's wet fish counters does well for prime Cornish fish.

Since the HFW campaign to switch from popular fish species bought at wet fish counters throughout the UK,  Sainsburys has seen a marked shift in consumer buying habits. In particular, two species - hake and megrim sole - two of the highest tonnage in landings on Newlyn market for many years - have helped push sales of fish to existing and a growing number of new customers. Hopefully, the trend to buy hake will continue as the price for this top quality fish is very competitive.

Fight the good fight with Hugh.

Six months ago, Hugh Fearnley-Whittngstall left the comfort of River Cottage behind, and went on a journey to find out what was really going on at the industrial end of our fisheries. What he found was that things are not just bad ... They’re mad. Half the fish caught in the North Sea are being thrown back into the sea, dead, because of crazy EU laws.

HUGH’S FISH FIGHT: THE BATTLE CONTINUES will be broadcast on Channel 4 at 9pm on Monday August 8th.

Pu the sun in Sunday.

 Nightmare on Chapel Street.......

 fresh breeze across the Bay.......

in shade.

Monk in butter beans flavoured with chorizo served with home grown spuds.

 Gently fry the onion and a couple of shallots......

 add a tin of butter beans after sweating out the oil form the chorizo......

 which gives the dish its warm colour - add flat leaf parsley at the end - add the juice form the beans and warm through......

 quick dig in the spud tub......

 along with a few dwarf beans.......

from ye olde harbour box garden (it's a broken one Andrew:-))........
