Bound for France despite the forecast.

All set to sort, but no sign of any whitefish on the market this morning......
thought the Lucy managed to get a 400kg shot of Cornish Sardines from the Bay working under the lee along the western shore.....
with the sky laden with heavy clouds.....

Despite the storm warning issued around midnight by the Met Office, La Servane leaves the harbour at first light and heads back to France to land. There had been discussions with the owners about landing her fish to Newlyn market, which would have been the first time a French boat had landed her fish for many years.
