Tug Taktow tows tug Doris together to Newlyn

At high water the second tug leaves Penzance Dry Dock.......
and is towed through the gap spanned by Ross Bridge......
as this plethora of aerials suggests, good communications are at the heart of fishing today......
putting the final withies in the base of a pot.....
and almost complete pot will soon be ready for soaking......
on the Crystak Sea II, both ends are bar tight as the tide reaches high water - smaller boats have been known to sink when left made fast to the quay at the wrong time......
the Ben My Chree is boaund away past the harbour punt as Royden waits to escort the tugs through the gaps and into a berth....
the MTS Taktow acts as tow boat......
and is escorted across by the Danmark on standby....
on an evening training session, the gig Portheras passes the tugs being manouvered into position.
