First February #FishyFriday market in Newlyn

 

No, someone has not dumped a couple of dozen washing machines on the beach...

men from the deep at work, Kraken Marine Services...

early Thursday morning in Newlyn...

and its sailing time for some...

gear. maintenance time for others...

warp time for others...

or the end of a tide for others...

Annie May out, Joy of Ladram in...

wind the clock forwards 24 hours and Friday's market is loaded with hake from the Britannia V...

some stunning tubs from the Ajax...

and ling...

and ray...

perfect example of a witch,  not to be confused with a megrim sole...

meaty monk

and a few decent whiting from the beamer...

along with plenty of megrims...

a box of big octopus...

and some big pollack from Cadgwith

supplies of line caught mackerel were fairly low...

but plenty of ray wings were up for auction...

these blocks are designed to attract seaweed and other sea life in an ecological experiment...

there's plenty of these to get washed...

and all is well as there's a new addition to the harbour team this morning...

a bright start to the day behind the low cloud...

fishing boats are scrubbed from stem to stern at the end of every trip...

as the Ygraine heads back to her berth...

forklifts to the fore, the ever-cheerful Joe...

and the ever-laid back Graeme...
