The macks are back!
Perhaps it is the warmth slowly building in the sky these last few days......
but with 800 kg of mackerel on the market this morning there are signs that the punt men will soon be back in action in the early hours of every morning with their hand lines at the ready......
as it was FalFish were quickest off the market........
this morning securing these shining examples of their kind.......
with the day breaking and looking pretty quiet after a fresh day yesterday, the St Adrianne was first up to take ice looking to land on Friday - .......
with skipper Roger hoping to be one of the few boats that day so his fish, always top quality, should make top dollar, especially with those buyers looking to supply the top local restaurants and London buyers......
more repair work underway on the quayside.......
as Royden gets his leg over this morning........
before assuming an almost religious pose aboard the Wiffer's new punt.........
which duly coughs into life after her trip down from Mevagissey at the weekend..........
there's more steam down the Combe as Harvey's fires up the crab boilers........
out in the Bay the St Georges makes her way to the gaps.
