Can you help a fisherman's daughter and her school project?

Here's a request from fisherman Alan Cahill:

Hi Everyone ! Happy Holidays. My 14 year old daughter and her friend are conducting a survey for the BT Young Scientist exhibition in Dublin next month and the survey is focused on the use and design of life jackets by and for commercial fishermen and anglers.

The survey is available here.. http://www.formexperts.com/forms/J58BL0Z4EBVJ

No personal information is required or shared.

"Hello, This survey is our project for the BT Young Scientist Competition.

School safety project online survey.

Our project is (A Statistical Analysis To Investigate The Usage Of Life Jackets On Commercial Fishermen) and we please ask that the survey be filled out truthfully, by ticking the correct box next to the answer (ticking one answer unless instructed otherwise). If more than one answer applies, tick the most appropriate one.

Thank you very much for your time, as each survey benefits the project greatly! Please note all surveys are used for the project only, and we do not identify the names or boat names of any fishermen."

Survey Closes January 6th and takes less than a minute Thanks Everyone in advance

Newlyn's first fish auction for 2013

Maybe the one of the harbour's New Year resolutions is to save some leccy as the buyers huddle in a dark recess...

with all but a handful of the fleet tied up over the break it was down to

a handful of inshore boats to put ashore a mixture of oily fish like sardines and mackerel along with boxes of bass and other top quality whitefish...

looks like the Wayfinder got more than a stockingfull...

hardly a breath in the harbour for a change...

still shining brightly in the early hours...

along with the Govenek of Ladram's splash of colour...

work in progress on the Corin's new beamer, at least she now has her numbers, just waiting on Squirrel to get her name in paint...

the Cornish Sardine boats filled their boots just off the harbour last night.
