With a few days to go...

Latest news today; yachting hero and adventurer, Pete Goss is building a replica of the Mystery to emulate the world's greatest small boat voyage over 150 years ago. The Spirit of Mystery, now being built at Millbrook south east Cornwall will be launched on Saturday 21 June 2008 - see the Pete Goss website for more details! At last this unique piece of Newlyn history will get the international acclaim which it deserves and acknowledge those 'iron men' in their wooden ship, Newlyn buccas one-and-all!

Part of the Christmas lights this year, a robin brings a little festive cheer across the harbour... and an enormous anchor graces the end of the fish market opposite the Swordfish Inn.... Tuesday's market sees a busy morning's selling, auctioneer Ian Oliver sells netter Sowenna's last trip of the year...

as the Jannie en Klaas makes a late entrance into port... not quite the £240 for one fish paid last Friday, but these turbot are still making good money... with monk tails still making nearly £20 a kilo... busy enough at the beamer end of the market....in a sea of festive green and red boxes... the James R H uses the tide to land across the fish market, saves on a lorry!
