The Scillonian III sails this #FishyFriday in Newlyn.

It's almost high water and as it is also a Spring tide many of the fleet are in port or about to sail after yesterday's blow which kept almost all the inshore fleet tied up...

looking across the Bay, the Scillonian III is just passing the Mount headed for the Scillys...

a handful of boats landed this morning with fish from the Billy Rowney...

and the Simon Paul...

supplies of Dover sole...

and monkfish were low so prices were high...

with a half decent forecast the inshore boats includng visitors like the Jacqui...

and the Our Frankie Shan...

wait their turn at...

 the ice works berth...

it will be a few months yet before these tubs get filled with new season sardines...

Brixham beam trawler, Emily Rose all set to sail today...

repairs to the slip will hopefully see it back in action soon, it highlights the very real need for a facility capable of handling the much bigger and deeper drafted boats that now frequent Newlyn - local boat owners are forced to spend hundreds of thousands of £s just to steam to and fro such services as far as Scotland and Holland to have work done necessitating being out of the water in a secure environment.
