Sunday night, Monday morning.


The crabber, Harriet Eve passes down the Longships astern of a north-bound yacht...

just off Gwennap Head, the Cornishman is heading away alongside a DFDS carrier...


promising start to the week...


good to see the mackerel handliners in action over the weekend, though this morning the boats were plagued with joeys -very small fish - a good sign for the future...


and a late landing for the Pelagic Marksman anding sardines...


some of which went for auction...


along with some huge scad...


while the Huers got stick into bass...


it was the Layla May landing more mackerel...


seems the Mediterranean octopus season is nearing and end as catches tail off...


not so landings of dogs...


the beam trawler Cornishman put ashore the usual mix of flats like Dover sole...


lemons...


and megrims...


turbot don't come much bigger than this these days...


more dogs...


from the Silver Dawn to go with her landing of hake...


these guys look properly prehistoric, a stone bass...


a few coley...


and hale form the Britannia V...


and yet more dogs from the Stelissa...


small fish like mullet swimming in the harbour are a common sight in the summer months...


the end of-quay boatyard is busy...


looks like Barry didn't have too many mackerel this morning...


one UK, one French and one German yacht on the pontoon berths...


meccano kit ladders are all the rage...


some nice welding on the new mast...



visiting scalloper, BM10 Our Pamela Jill...



last of the tubs being filled with sardines from the Pelagic Marksman.
