Newlyn Fish Festival Cornwall

Bank holiday Monday - the holidays are nearly over and where is the sun?
We had a great afternoon at the Newlyn Fish festival for once the queue for the car park was worth it. It was very busy full of interesting stalls, smells and displays particularly the harbour displays.

Pete Goss opened the festival and during the day his new ship the 'spirit of Mystery' was named and blessed.

Spirit of Mystery
Cornish sailor Pete Goss has taken part in successful sea trials with his new boat 'Spirit of Mystery'. It will follow the historic route of the 37-foot Mounts Bay lugger 'Mystery' which set sail for Melbourne in 1854.

What was really great to see was the relatives of the original ship members very present.
