Monday's market
Bound away before dawn...
seems squid in short supply today...
with only two beam trawler's up for auction...
heads or tails?...
boxed monk tails stacked two high from the Cornishman...
keep the buyers happy...
after prices bounce over big tides and scuffly easterly winds which prevented many of the inshore boats from fishing over the last few days...
the heavy cloud looks foreboding though...
as the Girl Pamela takes on more more nets...
not so for the Crystal Sea II as she put one of her trawls ashore for mending...
after ripping out the belly section...
the beast that is...
the Cornishman's clean and clear deck all set for her next trip...
the Admiral that is...
Tom keeps watch...
over the Bay as the sun attempts to put in an appearance...
while a few handliners fish over a shoal of mackerel just off Battery Rocks by the Gear Pole at first light...
alongside the cruise ship Bremen at anchor.
