On reflection
After the heavy night rain the sun burns through the morning cloud cover.......
to compliment the tea pots, cheerful tea caddy's have appeared in the window display at Badcock's Gallery......
another bag o' rubbish waits to go ashore from the Elisabeth Veronique......
while she waits for the fuel man to turn up after landing to the market......
which auctioned a good mix of fish from all sectors of the fleet.......
even an old timer conger fills a box.......
Mackerel move to St Ives
Who needs legs? the Ripple is quite happy to sit on her bilges, as boats built for tidal harbours like St Ives were intended......
ahead of the Ripple, Danny's high-speed punt the Josephine does not have that problem with so little boat below the waterline.....
crabbers ball........
two young gulls scrap over fresh mackerel bait that they have thieved from the boxes waiting to go aboard the crabbers......
with harbour filling up, the yachts are squeezing three to a berth......
the Viddy has opted to target pollack with the lines......
as the mackerel have decided that they are spending time around the corner in St Ives - 131 kg from the St Ives registered Lay Joan......
this time of year sees the Pascoe boats homing in on rays.......
and, for the second night running, the Pride of Cornwall has landed the first of this season's Cornish Sardines..........
early start for the yellow-welly brigade.
Comfort
Obeying one of the golden rules at sea, never sit on the rail........
even the passenger knows this to be sound advice.......
'Hoops' sits back in the stern, off for an evening on the mackerel......
as Mrs Crab gets things sorted out on deck, Mr Crab sits at the helm.......
as does Mr Downing, let the skippers' chairs take the strain......
after a day's sailing, the yachts begin to show seeking berths for the night.......
bet the makers of this fine quality Axminster carpet never appreciate the re-cycling that goes on with their products, crabbers and netters alike make good use of the easily washed and non-slip properties of these carpet pieces around the hauling area......
off to a new life up in Geordie land working nets inshore, the punt Enigma is about to make the long journey by road.
After the heavy night rain the sun burns through the morning cloud cover.......
to compliment the tea pots, cheerful tea caddy's have appeared in the window display at Badcock's Gallery......
another bag o' rubbish waits to go ashore from the Elisabeth Veronique......
while she waits for the fuel man to turn up after landing to the market......
which auctioned a good mix of fish from all sectors of the fleet.......
even an old timer conger fills a box.......
always a sign of summer, boxes of red mullet from one of the beamer fleet.......
monk tails don't come much bigger than these at six to a box.......
the George Johannes filled a good part of the auction hall.
