Masts and the master

For all the art lovers able to get down to the Orion Gallery, the first year's show begins on the 23rd January.....
Master tree surgeon, Dick Ede has been at work with his chainsaw on the mast timbers for the Ripple.

Little action under the decklights

Thursday night saw the CKS laying deserted alongside the market...
and the Jacoba has yet to put to sea this year down the end of the new quay....
Sea Horses II against the market...
PZ10, unusually on the north arm also lights up the quayside..
as the market ghost exits the auction hall - well, a gust of squally wind anyway!
Newlyn Coombe river is swollen after days of heavy rain..
so for anyone visiting Newlyn at this time of year they could do no worse than avail themselves of some fine Mediterranean style cuisine at the Pizza Patio restaurant!

Planning permission passed for £7 million pound project

Penwith District Council passed planning permission on Tuesday night for a new £7 million development at Newlyn Harbour. Modern facilities in a temperature controlled auction hall will also feature a remote computer fish auction in order to compete with other key ports in the region.

A wild and windy weekend

Friday night it lashed down...
as over 1000 whelk pots wait to go aboard the Doreen Rosa...
the boats in tier strained against their moorings...on Saturday morning new warp wemt aboard ....
on the slip, the Trevessa IV gets a bottom clean...
with high pressure washers....seems this boat hasn't been to sea for a while!
blown back by the weather all to soon, PZ 198...

a desolate harbour car park...
even at low water seas came over the lighthouse in the gaps....
with the view across to the Mount looking poor enough
