Do take a look at these stunning photographs taken by Philip Stephen of the Peterhead (NE Scotland) trawler Harvester, out in 30ft waves - photos taken from its sister trawler. Brave men indeed - makes me appreciate the wonderful fish we get to eat all the more

Have been tossing and turning overnight worrying about the copyright on the above photo - so to make ammends I'll put £10.00 into the RNLI box in Penzance next time I'm there - now I hope I can sleep soundly !

    Amazing! Those photos make the Scillonian look quite tame.
    A very ingenious collar for the little palm. Hope it survives.

      It's the fence I'm worried about Gaynor ! It takes a heck of a pounding in all seasons !
      I was stunned by those photos of the trawler - what they go through to ear a living. Gry Maritha eventually went out to Scilly today - arrived safely, but must have been bad as I noticed the speed of larger cargo vessels go down to 3 or 4 knots after they went round Lands End. Still on Scilly they'll all be off to the co-op tomorrow - it can get very bare in Winter ! Sue

      Too right Mike, looks very frightening out there. I know that Alan on Ajax had a bad trip last time out - force 10 gales, but he got 100 boxes of Hake so he was pleased - such a hard job. Sue

    It makes me feel sick just looking at that! They must have to strap themselves to the steering wheel! Do they have a steering wheel? Brave men indeed.

      I agree it looks horrendous - they do have a ships wheel for steering - such brave men- when they fish in such terrible conditions they tend to get a better price for their catch as fish would be scarce on the markets due to many boats staying in port. Sue

    Aye, that's us Scots for you! Total eejits (idiots) only we'd go out in that kind of weather to get something to eat! Hope the patio doors are fixed. We're in Cumbria at the moment. Very wet indeed!

      Think the Newlyn boys have been out in similar South of Ireland in a Force 10 - tough guys indeed - possibly with a touch madness thrown in ! Enjoy soggy Cumbria, hopefully a few dry days to come ! Sue

Have had to add the word verification as I am getting lots of obscene messages in the comments
