A fine but foggy #FishyFriday finds the netting fleet looking forward to fishing again.
A very inshore #FishyFriday today - that meant with just the one beam trawler landing...
and five inshore trawlers the market was devoid of fish by 7:30am...
here, the visiting scalloper Manx Ranger lands her bags of scallops by the fish market...
bound away, the aptly named, Buoy's Toy...
after a week prawning on the Smalls ground, SW of Milford Haven - during which time the boat dumped huge quantities of haddock and whiting...
the prawn trawler Replenish makes what may well be her last landing in Newlyn before she heads out through the gaps for the last time this year for the Irish Sea...
for the Billy Rowney in port, it's just another short break between trips...
while today will see the netting fleet take ice and sail again...
summer brings a full house of trains to the westernmost railway station in Britain...
as the Scillonian III is all set to sail for the Scillys with the coaster, Arklow Beacon anchored in the Bay behind her.
