It's Raft Race day!

The winning raft cruises to victory with a big grin from Ollie!
A close second place...
Here come the Newlyn Meadery Maids

First all-girl crew home - again - who will ever beat these veterans?
First maid ashore
And then a pirate assault on the Meadery Maids
Number four arrives
The blond wigs do nothing for these guys!


Team five almost there
Local pirate skipper on patrol
Four handed and exhausted!
Rambos galore!
PZ 10 at anchor after coming third.
Two whores are better than one!
Team shots
Cousin Jack gets a dunking!
A couple of posers!

Secon all girl crew home at last......
....to a wet welcome from the chaps!

Penlee lifeboat and the ILB stand by the remaining rafters
Time to stagger ashore with the raft
Two glamorous rafters

and here come the final rafts, neck and neck to the beach!






some swam for the shore
and then
over she goes!








A fun day for all the family and friends

Charity Cricket match - Poachers v Gamekeepers

Twin rigging on a grand scale!

Just a thought - is this the shape of things to come - Newlyn Yacht Marina?!


This Belgian twin rigger, 'Ora et Labora' ovelanded to a lorry on Saturday morning - shame his fish wasn't put across the market.From these two deck ponds the fish are sorted on deck and processed below.

Two twin net drums - not the enormous clump held on its own ramp amidships.

Marina style fishing arrives in Newlyn!

View from the Bowjey in Old Newlyn (where fishermen still have the right to spread their nets) of the marina pontoons - in use for the first time this weeknd.


Water and electricity on tap!

Tuna for the BBQ this weekend courtesy of Irish line boat, Ocean Dawn - check out Jamie Oliver's Italian cookbook for some excellent Sicilian recipes - why not book a table for two at his brand new Newquay Fifteen restaurant?

Fresh tuna is just too much for ginger tom Kevin!

This is fresh!

You might look twice!


Take a close look, which fish is this?


When you visit the harbour where will you find this most important word?


A tag from the newly introduced Line Caught Pollack from Cornwall scheme, visit the website, and check out the sauve chap who caught this fish!

Scallops and Tuna ahoy!

All hands were treated to a glowing sunset on Wednesday this week.

Visiting Irish tuna boat, Ocean Dawn alongside the north quay.


Another load for the Scott Trawler's truck driver

and another load of scallops from the Kingfisher arrives.

Scott Trawlers are in town!

What better way to advertise your wares than big, bold and beautiful on the side of your trucks!
There's no mistaking these beasts on the road when they deliver to a customer.

It's the time of year when tourists flock to the picturesque working ports of Cornwall, and Newlyn is no exception. Here they can see local artist Drew at work as he paints a fishing boat. Many of the netters have decided to miss a few neap tides and paint-up as the fishing is slack, often the case at this time of year!
