The rain it raineth

In a scene reminiscent of Norman Garstin's iconic Newlyn School painting, 'Rain it Raineth Every Day'......
and a sure sign there are mackerel about, a discarded fish tally......
the new Valhalla takes ice for her first trip.......
heading for the fuel man at the start of another week's angling parties.......
another long-distance visitor, this time the Splendid makes it from Goteborg - searching for any info on the boat failed but did return this fascinating sailor's blog from the same town......
all quality fish from the Elisabeth Veronique......
even sneaking one away from the pot boys......
dab sorting hands sorting megrims.......
its quality from the Imogen all the way......
beginning to crumble before the breaker's.....
get to grips with the starboard side......
and framed by the tool that does the destructive work......
summer time brings in the anti-smuggling team in the shape of the aptly named Searcher......
pots 'n chains......
Mr Praed uses the wheelhouse as a temporary canvas for his latest efforts with the brush.....
over-ending gear before heading back to the islands.
as one of the pair team head back to a berth.
