Wednesday morning.

 Flying the fla

 The sun is just about breaking through heavy cloud cover this morning......

 as Cap'n Nudd tales the crabber ~Intiuition out for a day on the pots.....

 one of Newlyn's many merry mackerel men........

a  stonking turbot sold to the highest dder......

 and a fair few boxes of mackerel around........

 the green team crew moving at speed this morning......

 walking the Harvest Reaper back to her landing berth......

 one quay lampost trying to emulate the angle of the Blue Angel's derricks.......

 with a 1200hp ABC main engine burning 3,500 litres of fuel a day this swallow rig must be catching a serious amount of fish.......

 monks making money this morning.......

 then the rains came.......

 and cleared the decks save for a solitary gull.......

out through the gaps minus her derricks, the beamer Louisa N is bound for Polruan and the Toms shipyard.
