90 mph winds hit penzance Dock
Filmed some two and a half hours before high water - the wind was full of sleet for a time.
Still at sea and fishing in force 10s
The French fishing boats Boree Al and the Iroise are both fishing on the edge of the 12 mile limit north of St Ives...
the weather with them, according to the AIS data is South Easterly Force 10 or 48.2 knots - this is not as bad as the weather in which the Le Sillon was damaged last weekend.
Falling rapidly? - Don't tap it!
 |
The air pressure continues to fall rapidly at the SevenStones Lightship |
and now the wind has backed round slowly from the West over the last 24 hours to Sou'sou'easterly - the worst possible direction for Newlyn.
When the wind blows...
The shipping forecast for where three french boats are working:
Latest readings from the Sevenstones Lightship at 1200 today showing the air pressure plummeting this morning...
with a look at what is to come from the 'live' world wind map...125 km/h is just under 80 mph...
which won't be good news for the three 23m French boats trawling off St Ives, though it's not like they don't know the wind is coming. Also in the bay off Godrevy is a small 90m coaster sheltering from the wind.

Curing & Smoking - do it yourself
Read an extract from CURING & SMOKING
Looks like a book well worth investigating for anyone in a position to create their own home-grown smoked or cured culinary delights - a few pages from the book here provide a tasty morsel of what is inside - hot smoked mackerel paté off the press!
The book can be bought online here or, even better, treat someone who has the food bug with a day at River Cottage HQ curing and smoking.
