Big tide, busy market
Plenty of marine art is on display at the Tolcarne Inn.......
some areas of the fish market had a distinctly blue aura to them this morning, something to do with temperature control.......
on goes a topping ice as the last of the Cornishman's fish is set out for auction......
no ifs and buts, just big bass from the Butts........
a couple of unlucky ones, the last of this year's cuttles
end-to-end with beam trawl fish this morning......
along with a handful of inshore trawl fish.......
high water on a big tide......
and someone must have put a good word in for the weather given how bad the forecast was for the week.........
time for all those jobs 'down below' to be done on the netter, Silver dawn.......
this solid looking aluminium Breton yacht - well, with a name like Gwen ar Dhu (Black and White) - suggests she's owned by a serious ocean traveller rather than someone who nips out of the marina for a spot of day-sailing.........
back to the same home again, local residents atop the net loft keep their clutch warm for this year's fresh batch of s**** hawks........
all set for the summer gold as signs of the mackerel are about at last.......
a fresh hanging at Helen Feiler's Gallery opposite the market......
in contrast.........
young Roger Nowell heads out to sea with the Imogen II......
