Fishless #FishyFriday but what a morning on Newlyn!
Looks like a promising start to the day as the sun throws up a stunning sky over St Michael's Mount and the bay this morning...
with Newlyn bathed in warm hues...
and the beam trawler St Georges...
is prepared for her ride down the slip dead on high water...
with the bulk of the fleet...
including all the netters still in port over the big spring tide...
there's yet more crab pots waiting to be deployed...
as the Admiral Gordon sans one derrick limps over to Penzance dock for repairs...
and the latest vessel to join the fleet in Newlyn heads out through the gaps......
and off to sea...
the St Georges comes down the slip attended by the tug boat...
she fires up her main engine...
and gets a helpful nudge to turn her bow and head back into her berth on the Mary Williams pier.
