Twinned with Concarneau - Breton and Cornish Sardine fishing.
over 100 miles south, another Celtic sardine boat, the War Raog IV is tracked leaving her home port of Concarneau and then searching the bay for Breton sardines!
Hunting for sardines
Tweeted by @JessicaS_PZ last night - There are 5 trawlers fishing close by in Mounts Bay at the moment - never seen that before. Big shoal of fish? #penzance #newlyn
The Cornish Sardine boats were out in force in Mount's Bay last night. Only the Asthore is fitted with AIS which gives us a chance to follow the boat as skipper Peter Bullock traverses close inshore in the hunt for a suitable mark of fish. Fishermen use the term 'mark' that once described the patterns left on the old paper type echo sounders that were used to find fish before electronic versions were introduced.

31000 miles to go - with a little help from you?
Cyclists extraordinaire - Damian Barnes - Justin Morgan - Wayne Davey |
Here's the word straight from the 3100 web site:
Three hardy men from 771 Search and Rescue squadron, based out of Culdrose, Cornwall, are setting out to ride 3100 miles from Oceanside, San Diego to New York City's, Times Square. We aim to complete the ride in 17 days following the RAAM (Race Across America) route through 12 states, 88 Counties, 350 communities and 170,000 feet of climbing.
The team are attempting to raise £20,000 for charity along the way. The Little Harbour Children's Hospice, St Austell, the Cornwall Air Ambulance and the Royal Marines Charitable Trust Fund. We have been working hard raising money in supermarkets, shopping centres and even women's clothes shops! With concerts, children's parties, coffee mornings, auctions and much, much more planned! Donations are available via our 'donate now' tab.
We will be offering corporate opportunities to any businesses who would like to support us and the charities. We have a partners page, where our sponsoring company logos and links will appear. Additionally, our team will wear clothing printed with their company logos, who choose to sponsor the event.
Wayne Davey is a well known face in and around Newlyn having played rugby for Penzance & Newlyn Pirates and is a regular crew member of the Penlee lifeboat, Ivan Ellen.
