Pirates on the Prom - Jubilation as Penzance Pirates smash the World Record!

Angie Butler and Clare Trevaskis must be two very happy ladies with Sunday's hugely successful piratical perambulations in Penzance - enjoy photos of every possible pirate permutation along with parrots, flags and a pirate ship hove too off the prom!





Listen to a live recording as news reaches over 8,ooo of the world's fiercest pirates as they plunder and pillage Penzance promenade!

In quieter times Clare can be found hiding in the shop aboard the good ship Bag o' Rags (ex-Ar Bageergan) in Penzance wet dock.

What a picture.

Luckily, members of a Bedford Art Club are undeterred by the lack of sun for which Newlyn has drawn artists from all over........
all set for the off, now where did I put that ticket?........
latest boat to join the fleet in Newlyn, a new crabber joins the Rowse fleet.......
often spotted on the AIS fishing up channel, the Grand Saint Bernard was pulled in by a Fisheries Protection boat......
always gear to do.......
engine in.......
ice time.......
poles at the ready.......
the Navy guys take a stroll after coming ashore form the detained Grand Saint Bernard......
while the crew discuss their plight - good to see a youngster aboard the boat though.....
smile for the camera.......
