A largely fish=free market in Newlyn this Fishy Friday
In colour...
or black and white, the Bay was heavy with cloud this morning...
the market almost deserted apart from the scalloper up ahead...
and a few punts landing their mornings mackerel after a 4am start...
king of the jugglers, Mr Cripps purveyor of fine mackerel, some of which are destined for a beach BBQ later...
others off to faraway places...
the gulls were fish starved...
latest addition to the Newlyn fleet, the ex-Brixham beamer, Sasha Emiel now the Karen~N...
the tug, Red Finess...
seen from the stern...
bow on to PZ10...
last night, some had 6 bins, some had 16 bins, the Asthore had 16 tonnes...
Dennis heads for home...
not everyone made enough of a haul this morning to warrant landing them to the market, not enough to cover the cost of the sweat!

Classic sailing vessel Astrid goes ashore in Ireland
Only a few day's ago the sailing vessel Astrid was safely anchored off Penzance before making her way later that evening to Cork on Ireland...
where she left earlier today bound for Kinsale...
luckily all hands were taken of safely by the Kinsale lifeboat after she ran aground under cliffs. Pictures show the vessels sails were all furled at the time of the accident in strong south westerly winds and a 4 metre swell....
Thirty people have been rescued after their tall ship hit rocks and sunk off the south coast of Ireland. The Astrid suffered engine failure near Kinsale Harbour and was blown onto the rocks by strong winds. A major emergency operation took place involving the RNLI and coastguard just after midday.
The Astrid was one of 50 vessels taking part in a flotilla-style five mile journey from Oysterhaven to Kinsale as part of Ireland's 2013 Gathering initiative -- a tourism bid to encourage the diaspora to return to their homeland on holiday.
This video shows the dramatic moments the Astrid hit the rocks, the subsequent rescue and interviews. Video by Nautical Channel.
