One sunny Tuesday morning

 A quiet market this morning, but it was top quality inshore fish on sale at 6.30am.......

 with some big guns from Cefas on walkabout.......

 large medium mackerel were making over £6 a kilo - good news for the hand-line boys able to catch them!......

 a night on the scad for some.......

 a guiding hand in the back of the lorry.......

 takes fish from the ever-calm Tuna King.........

 hot work in the fishroom.......

 the St Malo trawler, Azur has reduced revs and raised temperatures on her engine - a sure sign there is something around the propeller - mending the trawl while waiting for the diver to arrive......

 also waiting, this time for a quiet spell of weather before heading off to the Scillies........

 heading back to tier - top scad boat.........

 Lola, a classic wooden yacht from........

 Skagen in the Sweden

 time for the old timer to go up on the slip......

 never mind the weather, the Hull registered Cloudy heads into port.......

 waiting to get wet......

 waiting to get dry.......

 landing time for the Nova.......

 there's word that tuna are being caught around the Porcupine Bank, maybe next year.......

 now you know where to go when in need of a local picture framing service in Newlyn.....

 the ever polite Debs in the Star puts Mr Mundy straight.......

 no problem........

 get on yer bike and raise some cash, the Penwith Peninsula cycle ride......

don't forget, Olympic Champion rower, Helen Glover will be showing off her gold medal this coming weekend!

Glover ice cream victory bus hits Newlyn and Penzance

1/2: @JessicaS_PZ: RT @CornishMining: Sunday, Aug 19 Gold Medallist Helen Glover open top bus tour through Newlyn and Penzance starting at 11 am. Get out there!

Thursday morning

 Looks like the torch, and not an Olympic one, has been wrought on the Anneleise......

 to remove the winch-house casing.......

 plenty of fish on the market this morning including plenty of langoustine from the Trevessa IV.......

what looks like a promising day weatherwise as low wisps of cloud hang over the sea......

giving the Bay an eerie feel.......

you never know what will come up next in the trawl - all photos courtesy of Edwin Hosking at Ocean Fish.

Shades of grey

 Fifty shades of grey, the not so white Isle of Wight early this morning.......

 plenty of live steam action at Swanage station......

 once a hugely busy working port for Portland Stone, now home to many new waterside developments......

 but there are constant references to its proximity to the sea.......

 let's hope there are more mackerel in these waters than those around Mount's Bay at the moment.....

 always popular with the visitors......

 and a plethora of multi-coloured footwear set the summery scene.....

 the local Italian restaurant is well into its seafood menu.......

 as is the music scene.......

 and the ever popular Fish Plaice, wonder if they supply Wordsworth House........

 its also time for the well supported Swanage Lifeboat Week, a myriad of events all in aid of the gallant lads and lasses who man the local lifeboat.......

 only fait to give the local meat man a mention to show that TtG is not wholly biased......

 the local art reflects the interest in all things nautical.....

 and don't get caught out and forget that the Swanage Bay fresh fish shop is closed at 3pm and 2pm on a Wednesday

 even the Cornish mussels compete with the Devonian Lyme Bay crab.......

Swanage in the sun

Even the seaweed in Swanage is different........

and many of the owners of these boats will be round the corner of Durlston Head at Weymouth looking for Ben Ainslie to come away with another gold for Team GB.......

the old pier has not quite disappeared yet......

Old Harry rocks provide a dramatic backdrop.......

as the classic steamer Balmoral makes her way to the pier at Swanage.......

amazing how so many fish boxes from Newlyn boats end up around the coast - this Icelandic Pers box is one of 1000 that were once aboard the trawler Dumnonia (lost east side of the Shetlands as the Annandale).......

there are Union Jacks in abundance........

Swanage is big in the diving world, here another pupil gets her first session for the PADI course.......

what's in a name, the town is home to many elderly residents who enjoy a quintessentially English seaside life of sun, sea sand and 7Sandbanks.........

must be something going on nearby.......

good to see Swanage Bay Fish still giving locals and visitors supplies of local fish.
