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!

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

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!

Other harbour pursuits
Boys will be boys much to the frustration of harbour security! The new pontoons make excellent diving boards it seems.

Scorching sun, sardines & scallops!
Visiting TNT scallopers in tier wait before taking ice and stores for their next foray out on the scallop beds around the Cornish coast.
Red mullet - the sweetest barbeque fish of all!

Sea, Salt & Sail in Mousehole
Early Saturday morning and Mousehole's Sea, Salt and Sail festival is underway. Sea shanties sung sweetly down on the quays accompany visitors and locals alike. This well loved, low key festival has an increasing number of fans judging by the number and size of visiting classic working boats this year - enjoy!
Classic local boats include Mount's Bay Lugger Association's Happy Reurn, Dock Inn landlord Les Rowe's Ocean Pride (for sale if you're interested!) and the Pioneer, for many years Cyril Gascoigne's sea-urchin dive boat.
The three largest boats are all visitors.

The Kipperman makes a welcome return to Mousehole - the sweet smell of oak-smoked local mackerel and pilchards wafting acroos the harbour seems to create ravernous appetities judging by the queues!
Meanwhile back in Newlyn a lone gull flies in at sunrise, only mackerel on the market this Saturday morning though!
Alan Nudd takes the Intuition away for another day's 1000 plus pot hauling exercise for her young crew.
Chris Morley cleans a his tangle nets for the last time this year - bet they go back in the water again Chris?
They say the sun shines on the righteous, well Mr Hicks, skipper of the gillnetter Ben My Chree was honoured this morning it seems!

A mix of flavours in the harbour.
A local artist takes advanage of the morning light. The attraction of that light over 100 years ago saw the creation of the colony of artists known as, the 'Newlyn School', Stanhope Forbes being one of its most well known members.
