Summer fog hits Newlyn.

Walking along Newlyn Green and there's no sign of the largest fishing port in England early on Sunday morning...


and not much better in the harbour itself...


with the Twilight busy landing at the market...


the new plastic curtain doing its job...


as the visibility slowly increases...


the old quay finally revealed...


the Resource Centre build it by numbers kit has been delivered...


and the lifting gear to put the girders in place...


things are a little clearer on Monday morning...


with some cracking quality fish like these John Dory...


and monk tails up for auction...


along with huge landigs of Mediterranean octopus which are still being caught all along the south coast...


there were good landings of red mullet...


and the usual mix of ground fish...


to go with even more eight-leggers stacked high in the day-boat fridge...


along with this very respectable landing of bass from young Mr pascoe...


and a good run of mackerel for some...


heading away from the gaps, Claude Henry...


as the Crystal Sea is passed by the dive boa Seeker...


closely followed by the Padstow registered crabber...


Isabelle heading in to land...


and that's all just before...


Mr Stevens sets sail to look for his ends, no doubt the possibility of struggling to lift pots full of octopus is also filling him with dread...


things must be bad across the pond...


and still the sardine tubs keep coming!
