Some slushy snow settles.

Bringing fresh fish to your table - despite the snow.......
not that an inch is likely to have any real affect on the smooth running of the harbour.....
even with the unusual site of snow on the quays......
nearly thirty years ago when dogfish were landed in huge quantities by early gill-netters like the Boy Gary, dogs were heaped in 10 stone piles on the New Quay - and, on one occasion in 1982, were frozen in for a week.......
one of those times when having a shelter-decked boat is a real boon for the crew......
not like days of yore on the Ripple......
the morning sky doesn't look too heavy with snow at this time......
but if the temperature drops Newlyn will have its very own skating rink.
