Cabot's Matthew sails into Newlyn.


Feels like Spring has made an early start in Penzance this week.......
with the waters of the Bay looking enticing for anyone keen enough to ignore the hint of frost on the ground......
though there are still some eerie sights along the prom........
with a good section of the old causeway that ran from Newlyn to Wherry Town exposed this morning.......
all hands to the meat wagon making an early delivery for Lentern's the butchers......
the fish that started a fight, a good sized cod gapes at the furore it has caused around the EU.....
still trying to get the last of the boxes from the netter CKS sorted before the auctioneer turns up......
this time of year the boats land a selection of both hard and soft roes from fish like cod, pollack and ling......
the Emiel twins from Brixham are in town......
as is the superb replica of John Cabot's Matthew from Bristol.......
which sailed down from her home port yesterday......
and is taking a short break on Cornwall's top fishing port ........
catching a few early morning rays........
see the latest fishing boats for sale page.......
perhaps someone attending next week's Newlyn Pier and Harbour Commissioner's meeting could suggest that some/alternate/all of these meetings are held either in the evenings, or on a Saturday (as they once were), when all those interested members of the community who hold down full-time 9-5 jobs could then find time to attend and take part, just a thought........
another new name - what was Pizza Patio has now become the Italian Kitchen.......
tipping the ice back from whence it came, more examples of recycling in Newlyn........
another name change, this time what was Penzance Farmer's Market is now Penzance Country Market.
