Port Isaac to Newlyn.



A weekend away - Port Isaac, wonder how many have come to grief trying to negotiate these rocks on the way...



in through the gaps...


before anchoring safely in the harbour?..


with no quays, everything to do with gear on the local fleet is done by waiting for easy access at low water...


though having a trailer saves an awful lot of lugging...


well, at least some Newlyn Harbour boxes are being put to good use - storage for decorative lights on the Platt...

these store have sen a few lobsters pass through their doors over the years...


back in Newlyn first thing Monday morning...


and 99% of the fish came from the beam trawler Enterprise with brill...


a few pollack...


cuckoo ray...


conger, witches and pouts...


and at this time of year plenty of Dovers...


more than enough to keep Graham and the rest of the market crew busy...


and a very late season sardine landing from the Vesta...


and a handful of handlined mackerel made up the morning market...


seems word is yet to get around...


with neap tides now underway there are just a few netters left in port...


like the Joy of Ladram...


Ocean Pride...


while the Enterprise should be sailing anytime soon after her seven day trip...


the only visiting boat left in port is the seiner, Acciona...


the old ice works may well do more than reflect on the harbour waters as plans are afoot to turn i into a Heritage Centre.
