Dark clouds, bright skies and rays of sunshine fall over the harbour this morning, and it isn't raining...
even more rays inside the market...
from the beam trawler Cornishman...
that's a whole lot of whiting roe...
top quality seine net fish always look good...
as do these reds from the beamer...
reds were very much the predominant hues morning...
never mind the reds, the port record was broken again, this time by the Cornishman with 90 boxes of soles...
two tone boxes of fish...
if oly there was a decent market for these fish out there, a longlining bonanza waiting to happen...
there's a clue in the name...
signs of better mackerel fishing on the market this morning with the handline guys...
looks like some interesting research underway for Cefas...
the ringnetter Vesta, landed a few fish over the weekend, though they proved somewhat elusive in terms of quantity...
a bright start to the day gets brighter...
as the sky opens up...
it's a sign of the times, these boats would be fishing if there were skippers and crews out there to take them...
the there's a key berth going while the St Piran is away for a paint-up...
while the Ali-Cat gets her paint job done closer to home...
two more deep-drafted boats take up berths on the end of the Mary Williams pier, the modern fleet is very quickly out-growing the harbour and its shallow waters...
as did the harbour 140 years ago when the Old harbour was the sole provider of shelter for the fleet of the day.
