The weekend in Mount's Bay and Newlyn.


Despite the poor forecast, heralding the arrival of Angus, the first named storm of the ear which promises storm for 9 and severe storm force 10 winds, the fleet are queuing up to take ice...



though the classic sailing boat, Irene is waiting to sail...


the wind is beginning to gust already...


surplus to requirements, some grown timber not used in the refit of the wooden-hulled Galilee...


boxes and ice going aboard the Lisa Jacqueline...


Sunday morning and the Filadelfia heads back into port...


looking like new, the Algrie is almost ready to get back to sea after her nine month lay-up...


Irene about to set sail...



the new wheelhouse is now in place on Rowse's new crabber...


over in Penzance the Sunday morning dinghy sailors get in some sailing following the storm...


making the most of the fresh breeze and heavy swell...


tied up for the winter, the luggers Barnabus and Happy Return...


also tied up for the winter is the Scillonian III having her winter overhaul in the wet dock...



Forever Autumn, in the dock.
