Quay Day and that match.

Phil and the boys show their support......

the big fella from north of the border is back.......

Penzance Boating Pool at Wherry Town was host to a huge collection of model boats.......

which included examples of distant water sidewinders.....

classic sail boats.........

more wooden trawl doors.......

and a mixture of nationalities......

lifeboats on the move.......

and even one from the popular Deadliest Catch series......

Bobby Sowden's immaculate Sapphire always draws admiring close inspection.......

on the dockside in Penzance there was a stand dedicated to protecting the local seal population - no doubt not to well supported by some hands.......

a chance to see how the basic knots at sea are used......

the Joanna Lucretia was flying a huge Cornish Flag.......

and had a steady stream of visitors all day.......

fishermen past and present enjoy a BBQ on the deck in the sunshine.......

the National Coastwatch Institution had two stalls, with an oil painting of an old sidewinder against the quay in Newlyn as the main raffle prize.......

despite there being an abundant supply, none of the catering stalls seemed to have taken advantage of local seasonal fish like Cornish Sardines or mackerel..........

there were exceptions as in Les Rowe's Dock Inn which does its bit and has earned him a 'Hero of Golowan' award.......

even PZ Gallery felt it better to join them than beat them.........

meanwhile, Petanque seems to have reached the port as a sport.......

at £2.50 a scare it was one way to get a bird's eye view of the festivities........

the Lugger was bedecked as befitting the occasion.........

the first few bars as Golowan Band head along the prom.
