High water
Concarneau registered Kerleven on the North quay. The original skipper pair-trawled for tuna with the Bugaled Breizh (patron Michelle Douce) at one time. It seems that getting crew in Briattany is an issue same as here - le vieux patron Jean Eve is back aboard at 72! Classic boat, Lizzie May has popped round from Falmouth. The Trewarveneth's days are numbered, an empty skip awaits the broken ship, a far cry from the day she held the port record under a very youthful skipper, one Roger Nowell.
Anchor seiner Crossby, from Grimsby lays astern of the Tewarveneth.Over the other side of the harbour refrigerated transport, also from Grimsby and worth considerably more than the MFV Crossby, waits for her load of fish from tomorrow's market alongside the iceworks. A sign of the times - no kidding, so harbours are dangerous places! How many turns have been taken round these bits and by whom? View through the wheelhouse window of the Crossby. Good to see a Cornish chough in the harbour! In one view: a wartime MFV come trawler, come liner, laid up for twenty years, come netter; a modern steel Breton trawler, a handful of GRP punts, the Chickadee and the Lisa, wooden punts with heritage.
