Fish on a stormy Newlyn market

Despite the weather there's fish from three beamers this morning...

including the Billy Rowney...

with a good run of cuttles...

not a single box of fish from the netters - it's a spring tide now so they are all tied up...

looks good in black...

make a date in the Newlyn Fisherman's Mission tomorrow for your free lifejacket and help save a life...

fresh enough on the market...

with a speedy sale...

the tide is high enough to force the sea up through the blow holes in the quay...

and flood Newlyn at high water...

ex-harbour master Andrew Munson is doing his bit down the quay - you can just make out another sea overtopping the qauy behind him...

and washing down the quay...

the tide almost tops the quays...

and fills the road in front of the Mission and shops.

Irish prawn trawler suffers smashed windows on the Porcupine Bank forced to steam for shelter

Two Prawn trawlers sustained wave damage on the Porcupine this morning. All crew are safe and accounted for. One boat sustained a shifted wheelhouse and window damage and is being accompanied by another vessel, and they are making their way towards Dingle.The other boat has window damage is steaming for Castletownbere. A spokesman for the Valentia Coastguard said they were not worried about the safety of the crew at this stage and both ships were under their own power and making their way ashore.

Update: Both Fishing vessels that were damaged on the porcupine Bank yesterday morning are now safely in port. The "MFV Endurance" reached Dingle in the early hours of this morning after being accompanied ashore by the "MFV Shauna Ann" for their safety. The "MFV Ellie Ádhamh" arrived safely in Castletownbere at lunchtime today. 

The American National Weather Service recorded a rogue wave at 63 feet in the area where the boats were fishing shortly before they sustained damage.

Sadly, it does not take long for powerful seas to destroy even a modern steel fishing boat #powerofnature

Despite all attempts it appears that the French trawler Le Sillon has been blown ashore off Trevose and wrecked.
