'Tiz a chilly end to the week in Newlyn.

Johnny tows another completed fender toits new home...

and is kept busy removing the old from the harbour - that's an example of just how much damage marine worms can do in seven years...

between these two, an awful lot of fish have been caught...

thanks largely to funding from Historic England, the Old Quay has been given a new lease of life - it won't be too long before there is electricity available

who would have thought crabbers would be fishing for the very fish that predates on shellfish?!..

meanwhile, Friday's market id full of net fsh, mostly hake from the Ygraine...

Ajax...

Silver Dawn...

and Ocean Pride...

a nice little trio of ling...

the usual suspects landed last night...

many fish, like these tub gurnards, have surprisingly big mouths for their size...

the weather continues to keep the imshore boats fromputtingout to sea, almost nothing from them n the fridge this morning...

apart from a few octos whose favourite diet is shellfish...

so the big question is, will there be plenty of these left to catch this summer?

beaver at work...

dull, grey and not very warm, Spring hasn't quite sprung yet!
