Heat haze!


In the harbour, the Troon registered Nordzee T90, one of the biggest scallopers in the UK...



 - whose fishing activities in the Bay de Seine may be restricted in future years depending on Brexit negotiations and the withdrawal from the London Agreement...



looking out towards the Mount as a shimmering haze fills Mounts Bay...



which means any yachts leaving through the gaps this morning are greeted by an amazing sight...



along with crystal clear water...



nice enough to tempt Jo Crow to sea...



as he follows quietly...



one eye to seaward...



as the yacht ahead turns to starboard to run down the westerns shore of the Bay...



Jo sets about preparing to get the rags aloft for a quiet day's sailing around the Bay...



one crabber, one netter and one beam trawler - the three types of boat that make up 80% of the port's income...



Quayside Transport are part of an incredibly efficient transport system that sees fish not only leave Newlyn but delivered on a daily basis...



another year on for young Mr Cripps...



whose job on the market is done for the day - until tonight!
