Bit of fish for Monday from a handful of netters
As ever, the Sowenna has put in a trip despite the weather....
and a very decorative bunch of buffs she sports too!....
Silver Dawn was one of only a handful of the bigger netters to get away this neap tide....
The Scilly Boys boat, which is entered in this year's Woodvale North Atlantic Challenge is seen here resting on the lifeboat berth - check out the website for more info on this epic adventure - the boy's will of course be the only crew, 'rowing for home'! - their main sponsor is Tresco Estates from Scilly.
There's more serious construction work to be done aboard the old ABS. The ABS, a Sputnik class trawler built by the Berwick Shipyard in Aberdeen, Scotland spent many years in Newlyn owned by Stevensons fishing first as a sidewinder before being converted to beam trawling. This major refit will see her having a third life as a crabber.

Little action under the decklights
Thursday night saw the CKS laying deserted alongside the market...
and the Jacoba has yet to put to sea this year down the end of the new quay....
Sea Horses II against the market...
PZ10, unusually on the north arm also lights up the quayside..
as the market ghost exits the auction hall - well, a gust of squally wind anyway!
Newlyn Coombe river is swollen after days of heavy rain..
so for anyone visiting Newlyn at this time of year they could do no worse than avail themselves of some fine Mediterranean style cuisine at the Pizza Patio restaurant!

A wild and windy weekend
Friday night it lashed down...
as over 1000 whelk pots wait to go aboard the Doreen Rosa...
the boats in tier strained against their moorings...on Saturday morning new warp wemt aboard ....
on the slip, the Trevessa IV gets a bottom clean...
with high pressure washers....seems this boat hasn't been to sea for a while!
blown back by the weather all to soon, PZ 198...
a desolate harbour car park...
even at low water seas came over the lighthouse in the gaps....
with the view across to the Mount looking poor enough

Crowded house
Up against the fish market lay both beamers in the Nowell fleet, the Nellie and the Our Diana with the crabber Intuition outside....
a desolate market provides some quay berths for the beamers who normally stay in the wet dock in Penzance when not at sea.
