All aboard the Bessie Ellen for a sail around the Bay!


Most Spring-like this morning...



some classic 'grown' timbers ready for the saw...


Ollie tells it as it is...


for the benefit of the big Belgian beamer Marbi...


grinding in Newlyn...


not quite big enough to fill the gap left by the Jacoba...


the fish lorry for the Belgian beamer first has...


to offload a new set of boxes for her...


watched over by Andrew who is about to put out more pots Dreckly...


the ex-Newlyn trawler Imogen gets some attention from the engineers...


down from Mevagissey...


and the only boat on an otherwise empty quay...


off come more boxes...


all set for the Easter sailing programme, book your place for a trip this week aboard the classic tallship Bessie Ellen...


there is some serious welding underway aboard the Twilight...


a must unless you want to incur the wrath of the clamperman!
