With the port record broken, the first week in 2009 ends in the black
Visiting tug, MTS Taktow rests against the new Quay.....
astern of the tug, two of the Rowse fleet shine under the light from the quay....
another Windcat on passage takes fuel......
BritanniaV's varnish shows up well in the morning light alongside the fishmarket....
good news for the beamer boys as 'black gold' continues to fill fishrooms well into the new year.....
the George Johannes put a good first 2009 trip ashore.....
with much tooing and froing on the market to get the fish shifted to the waiting transport....
and so much of it that Ocean Fish have had to bring down a second wagon to cope with the demand.

I think theport record stands at closer to £70,000 by a local netter.
Radio Cornwall said that record was more than one trip - is that true? £50,000 a catch is terrific - must give all you fisherfolk hope for the future - for a while anyway. Good on you!
The debate started on the blog here was started when a reader suggested that the record was nearer £70,000 - Andrew Munson, the harbourmaster, clarified this on Radio Cornwall's breakfast programme when he explained to the presenter, James Churchfield that this referred to the total catch spread over several landings for one tide made by a netter - and therefore the port record for a single landing stands at £50,300 by the Billy Rowney.
