red mullet, ling...
and brill from the Shiralee...
enough to make that happy man Colin from Mousehole Fish serenade the fish...
so fresh these cuttles are almost alive...
more brill from the Harvest Reaper...
perfect thornback...
and red mullet from Nigel's Ocean Harvest...
as usual there's a good shot of ray from the Shiralee...

and the Scillonian III have been freshly painted...
while the Scillys supply ship Gry Maritha is undergoing a refit in the Dry Dock...

while the old Bramwell Mill building will soon emerge from its chrysalis-like scaffolding cover as a Premier Inn, nice one Lenny...
