May Day plus one.

Pen y glas, crabber against the fish market........

 all the boats do their bit at sea fishing for sea litter........

one very strong breeze, the same that prevented the Scillonian III from berthing in St Marys over the weekend thereby preventing the return of hundreds of gig rowers from the World Championships.......

 visiting Irish beamer Willie B makes her first appearance of the year........

Holyhead Towing Company's Colwyn Bay shelters for weather for a couple of days.......

 the same wind blows through the fish market.......

 a least these cracking turbot........

 and monk tails stay cool......

 up the other end of the market, whole monk, as is the norm for Irish boats, from the beamer Willie B.......

 the choppy seas over the weekend seem to have cut the Battery Rocks' swimmers' buoy from its mooring rope.......

it seems the man's on tour........

while the prom is awash at high water.

Busy day on a Dutch seiner UK153.

Our friend on the Lub Senior has had a fishy day today with six shots so far, better than the three he made yesterday.

Battery Rocks swimmers' buoy washed up.

Cornish crab is top table choice at the royal wedding reception.

Apparently, amongst the mainly Scottish seafood spread supplied some sumptuous Cornish crab was also enjoyed by 650 guests at the Royal wedding reception at Buckinham Palace last Friday. No clues as to which Cornish crab company was the honoured supplier.

North and South Poles in a day.

 With the weather less than clement a visit to the Falmouth's Maritime Museum was in order...... 

 and a chance to explore the Poles......

 in the company of one of Britain's finest ever leaders, Earnest Shackleton, and his genuine string vest......

 follow the penguin footsteps on a journey South.......

 and polar bear prints heads North.......

 there are several rooms with Cornish maritime artefacts of course, including this salt pilchard cask stencil......

 and more modern exhibits fill the floor to ceiling areas......

 down a spiral staircase (or lift), below sea level, a small shoal of grey mullet amuse the visitors......

 while this isa close to a lighthouse lantern lens as you ever want to be.....

 one of Design Cornwall's containers adorns the precinct in front of the museum.....

 and the newly commissioned yacht, Akalam from Pendennis Shipyard ......

 is waiting for delivery.......

 at this time of year there are a good selection of gin palaces on the pontoon berths.......

 viewing if the shipping over, time to eat, and having the need to enjoy a glass or two it was decided to give Rick's chippy a miss till next time......

 instead, located right next to the museum, The Shed provided sustenance and warmth of service with a starter of Cornish Sardines......

 that went all too quickly......

followed by more Cornish shellfish - the sauce tasty enough but lacking in creamliness.

Blues and Royals.

 The 37m Perini built charter yacht Northern Spirit at anchor off the promenade......... 

 some more solid ironwork in the shape of the Dutch built Sapphire in the harbour.......

break it to him gently Debbie........

Wherry Town's basketball court plays host to visiting London Welsh players as they warm up ahead of their semi-final game with the Pirates on Sunday....... 

 one Plymouth style beaching punt for sale with a Category A licence.......

 get out the grip fill........

 a Union Jack and bunting still flutters over the harbour.........

 a more sedentary sport and another jack, this time on the bowling green........

with another study in blue on the prom.
