Hair today.

Luckily, there's always a gentleman present on the market when the load's too heavy.....
hand line caught mackerel sorted by hand......
it's enough to bring a tear to a man's eye......
a helping hand, its team work for the men in the punts......
as they head back to their berths......
seems a shame England's largest fishing port is losing its Seafood Cafe to a hair salon!.......
one of the few Art Deco pools in the country looks resplendent in the morning light.

Fresh coat of paint does wonders for any boat.

There's a four-legged friend now with fresh paint on his paws aboard one of the boats.......
as the cherry picker makes life easier for Quentin and the rest of the tuna team aboard the Ben Loyal - owner Kevin Bennetts has been drawn back to fishing by his belief in the market for tuna by purchasing the Ben Loyal and equipping her with the latest tuna technology under the auspices of Captain Knights......
flat sea = scallops, more for the Fal Fish wagon to take ashore.......
the Star knows its market and won't let the odd coffee drinker interfere with its mission to serve up the best pint in town, this might have something to do with Mr Singing in the Rain.......
signs of a activity in Penzance wet dock, the Sea King appears to be on the move.....
plenty of ballast headed for the Scillies......
and the Dry Dock has more work.......
she's looking better each day.

Mixy mackerel.

With landing of mackerel proving erratic, an early start to the daily sale is needed on some mornings.....
coming this Friday, the Swordfish promises a Seven Day Weekend, but hasn't it always been so?........
last here some eight years ago, the scalloper Argosy returns with a new colour scheme, she was black before.....
looks like something of an ice-breaker's bow on the Keynvor MorLift's survey/ROV Severn Sea.......
a busy looking barge working platform waits on the Stone Quay.

Not what you want round your prop!

If you recognise your trawl the IOS Steamship Company will be only too pleased to hand it back - especially after it wrapped itself around one of the Scillonian's props and stopping the engine dead.
