Slick stuff
How time flies.......
in sub-tropical Newlyn......
where the yachts make an early morning start......
and the boxes get the gentle touch from Tristan aboard the Silver Dawn.......
she's a lean mean megrim killing machine.....
....then you pass this over........
she's nearly ready......
you don't have to be in Douarnenez 2010 this weekend to see a collection of classic old boats......
keeping a beady eye on an incoming trawler.....
not bad for a night's work, plenty of quality brill......
gets hustled off to the cold store quick enough......
that's a whole lot of boat to be doing with a six inch roller......
the Nostra Vota, a big Dutch barge visitor......
plenty of insects about for breakfast for this chap......
a little colour enhancement highlights a thin film of oil......
PZ512 heads through the gaps......
she's a big ship.

Newlyn Harbour Commissioners - latest minutes.
Head on over to the new Harbour Commissioner's web site and catch up with the latest minutes.
Temps Fête - Douarnenez 2010 starts today - you wish you were there!
Day one of the not-to-be-missed Douarnenez Festival 2010 - starts with a little taster video - an ex-admiral explains why the beast often referred to in Newlyn as "underground mutton" or "bush conger" is held in such low esteem by sailors the world over - especially fishermen!
There are plenty of boats that bear Cornish registration numbers turning up for what is a three day party with non-stop music, eating and drinking - something the Frogs seem to have weighed off in a way that we Brits just dream about - if you are there and look hard enough you might just get lucky and spot a gendarme or two overlooking the port casually drawing slowly on a Gitanes - that's about 20 less than police Newlyn's Fish Festival or the last night of Mevagissey's Feast Week!
Dam going Dutch
Doesn't seem like yesterday.......
best hake......
time for a tea in the Netherlands.......
fly past......
ex-fleet tender Mair........
with just what one would expect in a wheelhouse......
heavy duty backstay for the ChloeT.......
in a few weeks time, once the schools break up, the size of the yachts will diminish......
almost ready to get the gear back on board.......
catch the latest showing at the Newlyn Orion Gallery........
Hull registered, Rix Merlin is looking resplendent in her new coat of paint......
definite lack of robustness in this mast........
with a half decent forecast there's every chance of spotting the baskers as they pass Land's End......
tuning up for the second day's media frenzy......
BBC's Blast is a real treat for the kids of Penzance - good to see this sort of thing well away from London - and doing what the BBC does best with our license money - without an advert in sight! All those free runners find out more here!

Rick Stein cookery school gets the full monty from Mr Shorts.
Members of this month's Rick Stein's fish cookery course listen attentively as the dashing Robin gives them chapter and verse on the fish, fishermen and boats that work out of the port......
no Cornish Sardines for Stefan last night - but he did land a few hundred kilos of sprats - not too sure what the MMO would make of the tiny soles or frittura di paranza in Italian......
big, bad, beautiful bass.......
never any end to the inventiveness of boat names and a Responsible Fishing Scheme member too......
its Mr Litter still in port with his well kept deck.......
a days work comes ashore from Mario's boys.......
a pretty tranquil scene this morning......
so the yellow wellies get away early in the sunshine - as usual, its the guys who don their captain's hats and dish out the orders to their spouses -
contrast them with this boat where the helmsman hasn't started school yet!
