No light in the sky but it is a spring tide so there is plenty of light from the boats in the harbour at high water...
sardines a-plenty landed overnight...
blood-red gills tells you all you need to know about how fresh these mackerel are...
and these jigged squid just as fresh...
Tom ma n aged to have the market almost all to himself for an inshore trawler landing...
as the most expensive fish on the market - around £27 per kilo - you would think whoever filleted this turbot was a little more careful - ex-Grimsby fish-filleter Vince, who was lost on the Margaretha Maria - would be spinning in his grave if he had one on seeing the cutout rate on this turbit carcass!..
crabs love their gurnards...
and there are three of them here waiting to go to see as the sun begins to crack the cloud cover...
and a few crew make their way down the quay at first light...
as the Kelly of Ladram takes on new nets...
the harbour is all set for a new day and more settled weather......
there is hardly a ripple in the water, apart from the old lugger herself...
dozens of tubs of nets are on the quay waiting to go aboard the netting fleet over the spring tide...
with cloud cover at almost 100% there is not much room for the sun to break through but when it does...
there is fire in the sky as the inshore boat Jen T heads out to sea.
