You bend 'em we mend 'em

Steaming out on the hunt for Spring mackerel and overtaking the Rachel & Paul, the Still Waters heavier in the bow with a cuddy punches a choppy sea.....
down to the nearest millimetre, the Imogen's new footrope begins to take shape.....
making a quick exit from the deck of the Jacoba.......
back in after another week on the prawns, the Tranquility waits for her transport to arrive - despite a number of local boats trying to develop the fishery for langoustine over the years, boats still seem to find a better market for prawns well away from Newlyn......
cutting in at an angle on the bent derrick.....
or taking a more comfortable approach to welding....
the sparks fly as the fourth derrick to be straightened in as many weeks takes shape.....
for some reasonit seems that Turkey is this year's hot spot destination for Newlyn residents if the sign outside the local PO is anything to go by.
