Around the harbour on Saturday.
Running repairs to a beam trawler's derrick on the quayside.....
the hatch coaming and hatch badly damaged by the derrick head.....
a piece of trans-Atlantic cable fetched up from the sea bed, any one of these bits might be from the first such cable to run from the link at Porthcurno......
with the netters restricted to fishing only over neap tides, a disaster for Alan aboard the Ajax as she failed to start......
the worms have been busy in the harbour timbers again......
the level of damage to crab pots is apparent after the winter storms......
made in Truro by Calseamin.......
more winter work in readiness for the summer season....
the tug is about to get back her winch......
well it may now be February but the beer is still cheap in the Swordfish, which comes highly recommended if you need a B&B in the harbour..........
the Spring is sprung it seems.....
keeping warm atop of the mast.....
towed out through the gaps at high water.

Spring always comes early in Cornwall!! Have you seen our shop's valentine window 'Newlyn in Love' and our fishy valentines cards made specially for Newlyn by artist Jo Roberts? The cards are in the shape of fish and are called 'catch of the day' 'sole mate' 'heart and sole' etc ....the fisherman have been buying them.....the fish are flying out!!....although one fisherman said our 'sole' card looked more like a turbot!! But that may be a bit of a red herring??Do you want some photos for your blog? Valentines wishes to all in Newlyn from Juliet at the Design shop xx
