It's westerly, wet, windy and worse to come!

'Tom', as the monument appears to have been christened, looks out over a windswept bay as the Anglian Princess rides out the heavy swell....
the Trevessa rests alongside the fishmarket, down the harbour the fleet are all in, including the netters, all of whom have been prevented from sailing by the poor forecast...
Juicy is about to join the rest of the crew on the Cornishman as they go through the gear...
the heavy footrope deserves special attention...as both sets of gear are heaved to the top of the derricks for inspection, pretty clean they look after their trip...
all quiet late Saturday afternoon down a rainswept new quay
if you're in the area, it's your last chance to catch the Lineage exhibition at the Orion Gallery.

Netters ready to go

Big red cat Thomas Andrew on the pontoons....
One of the few varnished boats in the south west, built in Girvan of course, the Brittania IV gets a clean up just before the next neap tide.....
hot from RNAS Culdrose, one of the Sea King Rescue 'parafin budgies' makes a fly past over Penzance
familiar vistor and ex-sidewinder Hatherleigh has been in town for a few days....
the boys will busy in the morning with plenty of gear to go back aboard the Ocean Sprayseems that 'Grimmy' Mike has a new contract to catch bait for the crabbers - a disappointing day's work aboard the old girl!
