If you want to get ahead, get a hat!

Thoughts this weekend for those who lost family and friends aboard the Margareta Maria...


lost south of the Lizard, 27 years ago...


always good to see a shot of seine-net fish being landed on the market in Newlyn...


on a cool Sunday morning...


there's Martin, fighting his toothache ashore...


and a thumbs-up from Blake,  the youngster on the crew learning the ropes from Callum...


down in the fishroom...


as the box hooks come down...

they are hooked up seven at a time...


before a clever remote controlled arrangement makes it easy for the guys to drag a dozen full boxes the lenf=gth of the fishroom and under the hatch...


up on the market, St Ives fisherman Gary is busy landing his day's squid catch...


in the fridge ther's a late season bluefin...


and yet more octopus from the crabber fleet...


looks like skipper Steve Moseley took some advice from the old adage, if you want to get ahead, get a hat, if you want to get a hat, get ahead!..


swinging the catch ashore...


an old cornishman aboard another the old Cornishman,,,...


he's no cowboy...


skipper Phil keeping an eye on thngs abiard the St Georges...



as their fish comes out of the fishroom for...


Monday's market.
