1000th 'Through the Gaps' post

For the 1000th blog there are a mixed bag of images taken from in and around Newlyn this Saturday.....
first, the Anglian Princess at anchor in a silvery sea.......
something anyone who has run into the back of a Land Rover will testify is true....
those black back gulls never miss a chance to scavenge the boxes of frozen bait, if they can, they will.....
the Anthony sits quietly against the quayside.....
one of the more unusual graphics found on a fishing boat......
taking shape on the New Quay's mini boatyard......
the Pioneer is at anchor watched over by Tom.......
part way through some repairs to her hull, the Resurgan is on the slip.....
you don't want your blocks to go away when they arrive on Scilly......
on a return trip the Gry Maritha is loaded with scrap metal.....
working with green boxes.....
and then red......
high-tech gear on the Ellie, remote trawl-door sensors help the skipper see the distance or 'spread' between the doors of his twin-rig prawn gear......
two heads are better than one when it comes to repairing the chain mat on the George Johannes.......
back in to land and overhaul her gear, the Tranquility makes the gaps......
and later runs off her bridles in order to check their lengths are still the same, a crucial aspect of trawl rigging......
cutting out hull sections from inside the accommodation of the Resurgan.....
and tidying up the 'frames'......

so close yet so far, peering at the cache Piering at Seals appears to be proving difficult for the Geocacher, maybe it has been removed? - find out more about Geocaching here, its free to join.......
