Dusk over the Golden Age

Before all the evening action with the Golden Age film crew, as ever Newlyn was a hive of activity.

Here we have the tale of three Cornish Lasses......here's one...


And another Cornish lass, and, another Cornish lass......
Ex-Port Patrick lifeboat, Douglas Currie makes her way to a berth.Meanwhile the BBC TV Spotlight crew are busy filming outside the harbour offices - don't forget to vote for the Trinity Chapel restoration project and make the Rev Julian Drew's dream come good! Phone 09013 600 502 and get your vote in!
Joe takes a nonchalant, long, hard, cool drag on his return froman evening sail in the bay.
TN Trawler's, Tobrach-n spends yet another day in harbour with a wire round the prop - hopefully the hired diver will have sorted their problem this evening.
As the sun goes down the Scillonian steams past the Mount on her return trip from Scilly - wonder who won the draw in the Yacht Inn tonight?
Ocean Dancer steams towards the gaps for the last time to complete her charter for the Elizabeth movie sequel, Golden Age to star Cate Blanchett.Even as she enters the gaps the crew are dismantling the rig.

Good to see there are still some independent characters plying the ocean waves....!
Local company, Food for Films from St Agnes keep up the supply of hot food for entire film crew as soon as the boats hit the quay!
It's all hands in action as the film gear is manhandled ashore and back aboard the transort.
The guys from Celtic Scaffolding take to the heights and down comes he camera rig.
As befitting a period drama, some are made to walk the plank!
Still more hot grub keeps the troops happy!

Benson Marine from Lymington provided ribs and support.Camera Revolution retrieve their gear from the Ocean Dancer.
Time for all hands to head back to the Beachfield and Union Hotels, we trust all hands enjoyed their stay in the far west of Cornwall.
