Not a rock trawled up but a lump of 'sea coal' from a wrecked merchant ship...
first time visit for prawn trawler Andromeda (ex-Valhalla)...
the new quay in Newlyn has never been so busy...
work continues on the ex-French netter
won't be long before the sardine boats are in action again...
meanwhile there are trawls to be mended...
on the harbour...
on Friday morning it's a big mix of fish from congers...
to cuttles...
lemons...
ray wings...
and even whelks...
plenty of eight -leggers...
John Dory...
and brill...
all of which need wrapping...
along with the plaice...
and more of the marauding beasts...
finer weather brings out the angling boats...
and a broken ice machine saw the St Brieuc boat Stradale come in for four tons of ice with a few feet to spare under his keel...
Barry had a nice haul of spiders to land tis morning...
though this one wreaked is revenge seconds after this shot was taken - Barry uttered something like "ouch!"...
the big boats are back on the slip...
boxes from far and wide...
setting out his stall...
there are always plenty of French yachts willing to make it across 100 miles of open water for a tour of the west country...
spiders landed ashore and Barry heads back out through the gaps again.
