Sou'Westerly 60 knots!
Loctudy boats Eridan, Oceanideand Le Jusant sheltering for weather.
KuzhHedl, Kristel Vihan, Gwaien and the Santez Anna.
As ever there is no respite for the crew so the trawl is up for mending - so the London cabbie has it tough eh? The boats in these picture have been working in gale-force winds all week - but 60 knots is too much even for them!
The Loctudy boats sport their crest with two langoustine flanking an anchor.
The skipper of Le Jusant gives the wheelhouse windows a scrub with the pressure washer.
The ConchaMarvivier lorry decorated with spider crabs reverses down the quay to pick up crab from the local crabbers who worked through Saturday's weather.
Four crabbers and the last two gill-netters to make it home, Carol H and the Sowenna. Ex Sowenna skipper Mitch must be glad he can now take it easy on his new cat over in the Scillies!

Meanwhile, out in the bay its not just MCA Coastguard vessel Anglian Princess riding out the waves, two local Newlyn lads take advantage of a rare wave off Newlyn Green.
Even St Michael's Mount looks like its sitting in the middle of a cauldron.
