Fishing stops for nothing at the weekend in Newlyn.




Make hay while the sea is calm - scallopers fish better in calm seas...


it's gold again for @HelenGloverGB from Newlyn - so the huge celebration sign tells us in the famous Jelbert's Ice Cream shop...


bound in with the big pots...


the stern access ladder on the new sardine boat are almost complete...


the day has come, the Lisa Jacqueline finally gets to take ice at the end of her massive refit...


emblems of  Cornwall...


bound away to sea...


bound in from sea...



and again...


time time land the morning's work...


these guys make the most excellent bisque - if you have never had it before head for The Shore Restaurant in Penzance and sample some of chef Bruce Rennie's velvet crab bisque...
 


all in a morning's work for @Cornish_Lobster... 


before they are popped in the store pot.

both rigged beam trawls are back on the Lisa Jacqueline...


sporting their new huge rubber wheels which are designed to roll rather than drag along the seabed  to reduce fuel consumption and costs...


the Twilight III is still in the process of sorting out teething problems after her mammoth refit...

Comings and goings in Newlyn on a Thursday.


From the smallest...



to the biggest


the weight of a tractor towed on the end of the trawler's warp ensures that the warp is wound on the drum of the winch tightly...


clearing the deck of the, 'Little Tiger', the William...


in and about to land, the Padstow registered, Charisma...


some of the best fish coming ashore...


from the inshore trawler, Cloudy


and around 70 boxes of hake form the Charisma...



while the Lowestoft registered trawler, Reliance puts in an appearance for the first time...

then in the evening its off to a port on the north coast...


easily identified by a plethora greedy and aggressive gulls.
