A Bevvy of Bricky (Brixham) beamers

Going through their gear after landing, the Lady Maureen and the Carhelmar, both beamers from Brixham.....
heading back to her berth, PZ291, My Lass after landing to the cold store on the market....
ship-shape and Bristol fashion, two spare cod-ends on the Lady Maurenn grace her stern deck....
why lower fish down the fishroom using baskets when you can have a conveyor system, "wasn't like that in my day" they mutter on the quay.....
even though the boat in question is working 3m gear....
this box has found a new home overshadowed by the 10m gear on the Lady Maureen....
looks like a new set of cod-ends will be needed aboard the ChloeT...... power supplies to the Lisa Jaqueline, previously the Hubenada, skippered at one time by Newlyn's latest author, Fred Steele....
known in weather terms as a 'front', seen here hanging over the now floating Roseland......
in preparation for the return of the scallopers.....
seems there's some 'continuing professional development' going on for the Penlee lifeboat crews at the moment....
so the boat is happy to sit in her berth and the quiet waters of the harbour for the moment.....
one for Berkley CA, is this the first sight of a Breton onion seller for the year in Newlyn?....
looking down the marine gangway to SS126 as she pulls into her berth.....
there's plenty of pots to go........
on a glorious day its time to get the sailboat out in to the Bay for the first spin of the year.....
whelks, (boiled and pickled is good) and crab in store......
Pete Goss and crew on the Spirit of Mystery will not be enjoying the calm waters that the Ripple is currently sitting in......
where has he gone now?.......
here's a chance for someone to but a piece of historic Newlyn on the Strand opposite the Helen Feiler Art Gallery.
