With a heavy swell running around the harbour the crew of the Idatsa were off in search of some additional fenders to keep her off the quay.....
while the Eridan and Chephren were berthed outside one of the beamers for the night. Looking at the forecast the worst is yet to come with the strongest winds predicted for daylight in the morning. These boats, all, from Loctudy, specialise in fishing for langoustine - the crest on the bow of the Eridan has a pair of them. Look down the page here for the link to langoustine.
Like Newlyn, Loctudy and other Breton ports have gone through a heavy decommissioning programme.
The web site for the local Breton paper, Le Télégramme very usefully gives the landing and sailing information for the fishing fleet, port by port. One day Newlyn will catch up.
Welcome to Through the Gaps, the UK fishing industry's most comprehensive information and image resource. Newlyn is England's largest fish market and where over 50 species are regularly landed from handline, trawl, net, ring net and pot vessels including #MSC Certified #Hake, #Cornish Sardine, handlined bass, pollack and mackerel. Art work, graphics and digital fishing industry images available from stock or on commission.
