After the deluge it's a mighty misty Monday!
Fish as far as the eye can see this morning on Newlyn market...
no shortage of John Dory...
thanks to the Dory king young Roger Nowell...
the boxes of the St Georges' megrims...
had to be stacked four high...
the reddest of gurnards...
trip number two for the ray men aboard the Danmark...
while the middle and western end of the market was full of hake from the Govenek...
and the Ajax amongst others...
with so much fish the market ran out of harbour boxes leaving the boats to use their own...
plenty of boats in this morning...
and plenty of leisure traffic weather bound...
though these hardy types on the yacht Lord Jim 2 have had to tie up alongside a fishing boat...
time for a gear change on the Crystal Sea ready for her paint up...
an hour or so before the Irene is due to sail...
fill 'er up!...
Daniel the tug is in port...
always innovative, those rubbish bags make excellent temporary viviers for the live shellfish on the beamer...
Chris Tacha looking smart in her new colours...
over the bow of the Irene...
still work to be done to put the AA's derrick back together...
so many yachts in town some have had to anchor outside the gaps - doable on a quiet night.
