Bit of fish for Monday from a handful of netters
As ever the Sowenna has put in a trip despite the weather....
and a very decorative bunch of buffs she sports too!....
Silver Dawn was one of only a handful of the bigger netters to get away this neap tide....
The Scilly Boys boat, which is entered in this year's Woodvale North Atlantic Challenge is seen here resting on the lifeboat berth - check out the website for more info on this epic adventure - the boy's will of course be the only crew, 'rowing for home'! - their main sponsor is Tresco Estates from Scilly.
There's more serious construction work to be done aboard the old ABS. The ABS, a Sputnik class trawler built by the Berwick Shipyard in Aberdeen, Scotland spent many years in Newlyn owned by Stevensons fishing first as a sidewinder before being converted to beam trawling. This major refit will see her having a third life as a crabber.

hello, just to say rowses new crabber is or was called ABS and not the SARA SHAUN,
larry do you know anyone looking for crew?
many thanks!
email your details to info@newlynharbour.co.uk Danny and I'll see that they get passed on to the Fisheries Resource Centre and others - there is also the tried and tested stroll down the quay - over spring tides if you fancy a netting berth!
cheers
Larry
