Deserted Penzance high street.....
on watch.......
only a few days to go to the Fish Festival.......
sequel to the Cantebury Tales, Cornish edition.......
plenty of 'addock this morning.......
and a few brill too with several inshore boats providing the best quality fish.......
a smattering of Cornish Sardines.......
first light........
and away goes the Dawn Treader........
for a few minutes the harbour glowed........
as last of the Gary M heads for the gaps........
party on the quay.......
it's a sign........
king bass heads off into the sunrise.........
as the big scalloper Jacoba enters the gaps........
and puts ashore a partial trip.........
to a waiting Dutch lorry........
making for the market........
bound in from the Scillies, the St Mary's lifeboat........
strong onshore winds last week have left the beaches in the Bay covered in weed, shame the local farmers can't come and pick up this superb fertiliser - like they do on Swanage beach - keeps everybody happy..
