Not so breezy today in Mount's Bay.
A penny for the view...
the Trinity vessel Galatea is still in the Bay set against the Lizard in the background...
just a little ray of sunshine on the new railings...
with some work still to be done...
the Girl Pamela heads away to a day's work on the pots...
one derrick is used to heel the WSS into the quay...
the old Kairos now the Ajax - the boat previously owned by the skipper of yesterdays loss off the Scillys...
looks like a sunnyish day is in store for the west of Cornwall...
two of the big Scottish prawn boats are still in port...
they draw so much water they are berthed well down the quay to stay afloat and clear of the bottom during low water...
bow detail showing the Nereus' crest...
more fuel for the beam trawl fleet...
the WSS was towed in yesterday by the Billy Rowney
prime John Dory caught west of the Scillys by one of the prawn trawlers...
along with a good run of whole monk...
this huge fish showing its clever 'fishing lure'...
Falmouth registered inshore trawler Millie G...
two more visiting stern trawlers at rest...
the largely Filipino crew heave the stocking out of the power block...
after they run the second trawl ashore...
so that's where he comes from...
the Twilight makes her way to the gaps...
as the good ship Bess makes her way to sea...
passing the light...
and headed for the iceworks...
as another punt heads for her berth.
