Every where you look there's a fresh crop of woosy gulls who have taken the easy option and 'come ashore' to nest on rooftops - here a chick taps the side of the parent gull's beak to stimulate regurgitation..... big headache - bigger boats = bigger nets = bigger damage...... ultra modern mackerel punt...... Mr Morley slaps a tally on his morning's work...... the future's orange they say...... refit time for old timer Chicadee...... the Ben Loyal is looking smarter by the day..... chips all round tonight!....... Mounts Bay Angling club sets up for a morning's fishing...... the scallops go straight to the back of Scott Trawlers' waiting transport..... ever the gentleman....... a harbour tour is in order for staff from the MMO - should spur them on to assist with the planned new fish market....... its megs, megs, megs for the Filadelfia.
Bethshan, the latest cat to join the fleet is, like many of the smaller boats rigged with a stripper for one man mackerel catching...... a helping hand to land...... before skipper Gary makes his way back aboard the boat...... so far the scallops are holding up for the visiting fleet of small inshore scallopers...... the littlun's in the lead at the moment..... early morning wash and brush-up for one of the local swans...... intrigued by the smell of fresh mackerel, one of the ginger toms can't quite work out why there's so much smoke as the new smoker is given a trial run with a few fish - the very best quality oak chippings courtesy of Regent Joinery in Penzance - many thanks guys!
She is particularly interested in the Breton fishermen who sailed to Newlyn to as De Gaulle's free forces and the people of Newlyn who knew them. She write: "I'm planning a one-day trip to Newlyn on June, 10th and try to make as many appointments as possible with people willing to talk about this period and what is planned in Newlyn for this anniversary. You can write back to this email address or give me a phone number. Hope to hear from you soon. Juliette Micheneau Journalist France Bleu Breizh Izel Radio Quimper
Harbourmaster and newly appointed commissioner Andrew Munson gives a guided tour on his first day as one of eleven newly appointed harbour commissioners who will get to meet formally for the first time on June the 9th - good news for them is that the funding application for the new fish market has received an extension to allow for the new commissioners to get up to speed with the previously approved scheme..... with a superb collection of line caught bass on show - on a market with no big boat landings to speak of..... not quite flaming June yet - over-ending nets with oilskin hoods up tells its own story...... just in case you had forgotten - and getting clamped costs over £200 - beware!...... there' another Welsh dragon in the port...... the daily reversing exercise for the CoOp driver as he negotiates his way to the back of the store in Newlyn.
Porthleven's harbour boot sale picked a dry day despite the forecast that rain would arrive in the afternoon...... a quality example of scumble paint work in PZ dock..... a new set of flags adorns the Jubilee Pool...... on its 70th anniversary celebratory open day that saw a myriad of events in and around the pool on the day...... the crabs are a crawling, the entire Rowse fleet at the market to land...... while grub and ice go aboard the CKS as the netters prepare to head off for the last trip before the summer equinoxal tide.
