Mid week and the harbour is empty - must be fine weather and neap tides
Coaches a-plenty at this time of year as twitchers flock to the far west of Cornwall in search of those elusive migrating winged friends...
mostly top drawer inshore fish for sale this morning...
though the macks are still thin on the ground...
hey Mr Bass man...
Newlyn can do #cod just as well as #Grimsby #fish can...
Padstow hake from the netter Charisma...
three old timers set the scene...
looking aft on the Plymouth Tall Ship, Joahnna Lucretai...
looking ship-shape...
looking for'ard...
a rose by any other name...
simple technology...
under tension...
it's the dead of the neaps (the lowest or middle of the neap current tide) and the harbour is empty of almost the entire fleet apart from a handful of retired or near-retired boats.
