Another min-dredger passes through.....
with 965 top quality line caught albacore tuna fish from six days fishing, Newlyn's top tuna chaser for this tide is back in port to land.....
the lorry has arrived so its time for skipper Edwards to get busy....
the boys in the fishroom are ready and waiting.....
then its five boxes at a time.....
up to the waiting lorry......
under the watchful eye......
proceedings are interrupted when Shaun gets a free pair of - gloves? to test out at sea.......
after landing, its back in tier alongside the Ben Loyal - with whom things can't get much worse - apart from continuing fuel pump problems, this last trip was curtailed when crewman Kevin suffered a heart attack at sea - the Spanish fleet's hospital ship Juan de la Cosa- complete with a state of the art live video link to a hospital ashore, steamed to the rescue and took the man in question off in a stretcher - after then steaming North for 100 miles to be in range, an SAR helicopter from Ireland flew in to airlift the poorly man ashore - the good news is, apart from not having packed any shoes - Kevin will fly back to Cornwall at the end of the week - comment from skipper Shaun, "and he's only done two trips with Quentin!"......
not the right time of day to be making her way in through the gaps.....
the Elisabeth Veronique gets the one remaining net......
ashore having lost the other......
and just to finish off the day, the Geordie boys are back in town.
