Misty Monday morning.

 Here's a man who takes his BBQing seriously.......

 things move quickly on Monday's market......

 with the grading machine at full tilt......

 and more space created by the removal of the backup grader.......

 there's still good supplies of mackerel coming in from St Ives........

 a cracking quality trip from Mr Curtis aboard the trawler, Elisabeth Veronique.......

 compliment these top red mullet from the inshore boat Evening Star......

 another goodnight on the Cornish Sardines fro the local fleet......

 apart from the boys aboard the Resolute of course who are still busy mending their net......

 follow that trail.......

 first time in Newlyn for the Brixham beam trawler, Lloyd Tyler......

 should be sailing time any day soon for the tuna boat......

 another chance to capture times gone past and fishing with luggers from a different era over the coming Bank Holiday weekend....... 

 the the boats that fish for litter missed this piece of trawl net.......

 rolling fog passes the base of St Michael's Mount.......

 and the rising sun casts a shadow on cloud from the contrail......

 on a flat calm morning........

  the Lyonesse makes her way back to her berth.....

then it's time for the first angling trip of the day to get underway.

The best in Cornish beaches and a BBQ.

 Keeping an eye on things, one of Culdrose's SAR helicopters traverses Porthchapel beach......

 looking back at the beach from the west, not a beach for people who don't appreciate the power of the sea as it is susceptible to a big shore break which will easily sweep an adult off their feet.......

 next beach along heading towards Land's End at Porthgwara with crystal clear water......

 PZ1218 heads back to Newlyn, only these high speed punts have the speed to make working off Land's End viable from the port........

 they just can't resist......

 back in the kitchen its time to repare a BBQ dish......

 headed and scored in readiness for a curry spice.......

 rubbed into the inside and out of the fish......

 a great device makes cooking fish an easier task.......

 a touch of the med........

 before the onion based sauce that goes with the curried mackerel........

 stating the blindingly obvious........

 get those fish on quick........

though, of course, this is a house with one of those girl's type gas affair!

Matthew Southgate says - thank you.

"As a member of the crew taking part in the Fastnet Race and onboard the yacht Inseyarnda we would like to say a big thank you to the crews of St Ives, Sennen Cove and Penlee RNLI life boats.

A big thank you for the warm welcome Newlyn Harbour and the help getting the mast off and on to the fishing pontoon with the crane"

Matthew Southgate

I'm sure all those hands involved appreciate your thanks Matthew.

Don't be shellfish on a Saturday.

The changing skyline behind the old Hosking's Stores on Penzance harbour......

in Penzance Dry Dock, the beamer WSS surrounded by scaffolding.......

looking resplendent these days, you would never know the Steren Va Bro fished for the local Rowse crabber fleet until a few years ago........

the Belisha beacon provides the only golden orb in the sky this morning.......

a bug thank you from McMillan Cancer to the record number who took part inte annual Newlyn to penzance one mile swim.......

geriatric and junior results fromTriCornwall can be seen here.........

if you have never had the chance to see close up lobster, crab, crayfish and scallops head for the Newlyn Fish shop opposite the fish market....... 

Pete Tonkin's huge new live shellfish tank complete with one of Squrrel's excellent window display signs.....

top tank dog today is a male crayfish who marches to and fro' guarding his patch........

there is still plenty of time to get involved with this year's Newlyn Arts Festival beginning on the 16th of September.....

crabbers away........

while the trawler Tranquility waits for ice.......

Barrie looks on and smiles benignly on his day off as there is still a good day's work ahead of Ollie and the boys after the sheer weight of fish took their net to the bottom forcing them to split the meshes to release the fish........

the Border Agency's Searcher had a quiet night against the quay in Newlyn........

fishermen's topiary work on the Mousehole Road.
