Anyone seen our boxes?

With a big run of small and medium mackerel prices dipped as low as 10p and 50p respectively prompting one handliner to suggest that it would have been better if all hands had taken some time off over the Bank Holiday weekend instead of catching every day and filling the cold store with fish....
No doubt about the pedigree of this beautiful varnished yacht on one of the pontoon berths over the weekend, read more about the Zaleda on the British Classic Yacht Club's website.......
after the Bank Holiday weekend brough fine weather and plenty of tourists the market was laden with quality fish this Tuesday morning.....
with the Cornishman back in the red mullet again........
time for the store pots to be picked up and landed from the My Lass......
with a good mixture of shellfish including lobster.......
crab, a sample of which is being measured for compliance with the minimum landing size (MLS) required for crab and recorded by MFA staff......
though these huge cock crabs will see the measuring gauge stretched to its limit.....
while Craig sorts the last box of hens........
the big fella has a big smile to go with his morning's work......
another stone brought ashore after coming up in the gear, that's one less for the inshore trawler fleet to worry about.....
for those up early enough, there's a steady stream of punts to be seem heading back along the shore between Newlyn and Mousehole after the morning mackerel session....
some with enough boxes of fish caught to be seen from the shore......
and put the stern down in the water in the slightly choppy conditions.....
the Anglian Princess is still on standby......
while the punts head in one of the bigger toshers under Cap'n Harvey heads out....
output from the current, 'Newlyn School' of art extends well beyond the four walls of the Orion Gallery and other officially sanctified sites, here an unsigned seascape, thought possibly attributable to one Ben Gunn.....
and further along the shore some graffitti records the day the Grimsby stern trawler Conqueror ran aground in 1977........
a contemplative Mark Payne heads for the market, in no rush, as it appears there is a dire shortgae of red harbour boxes, seems the fish merchants have been hoarding them again as they were reminded in a plea from harbourmaster Andrew Munson on Radio Cornwall's breakfast show........
despite the diminishing number of local inshore trawlers there are an increasing number of visitors working from the harbour, recently joined is the CO365 Celtic Pride alongsider the Exeter registered Girl Debra.....and Grimmy Mike's anti-EU dream boat, Southampton registered Charity & Liberty.
