Frenetic Friday

With the scaffolding removed, the full glory of quality Cornish granite is now on display across Penzance Dock basin.....
The Nova Spero is about to go tuna fishing - so all the gill-net gear must be removed.....
visiting lifeboat George and Ivy is berthed on the New Quay...
despite being from Southampton, she's a long way from home
fishermen's memorial statue, 'Tom' is now back and on a solid new plinth....
the old Anthony has shifted berths of late....
this is as high-tec as it gets for a punt, Ocean Fish'e Ibis, named after a classic Mevagissey lugger has just put ashore the day's mackerel haul.......
seems there is a heavy run of fish at the moment for the mackerel boys.....
another group of visitors gets the early morning market tour and are entertained for a few minutes by the resident seal - not that these beats are popular with the local fishermen - the Cadgwith boats are having thousands of pounds of monkfish eaten by seals at the moemt and are being forced to haul there gear daily to try and attract the un-invited guests to a quality fish supper....

good to see sluch ice being used to keep the quality up in the sultry weather.....
