Big spring tides allow for the port's bigger boats to be put on the hard in order to work below the waterline, saving the cost of slipping them...
busy enough down the quay...
as Shane brings the Ali Cat alongside the market...
to land his morning's mackerel haul...
before grading and weighing them...
a very quiet market this morning with yesterday's fresh breeze keeping most of the inshore boats safely tied up and just a few boxes of whitefish from the visiting Scottish prawn boats like these John Dory, plaice...
and head-on monk...
mackerel...
red mullet and lemon sole...
and some fish at really eat well, weavers and red gurnard...
and the inevitable haddock which must put a smile on the Scottish skippers' faces when they see them...
all that glitters is not gold...
a huge bank of low cloud hung over the harbour and bay this morning...
depriving the fish market solar panels of their power source.
