With the weather improving, it is with regret that we have to leave for the Journey home. We set off under motor into a light NE wind. We took bets on the number of Dolphins we would see on our passage to St Michaels Mount, Marazion.
Lou was the nearest with 12 but we saw more than that. The first pod came and went quite quickly about 4 or 5 in number. Then an hour later a larger pod of maybe 6 or 8 came alongside for a while before veering off to feed as we carried on
Then around an hour or so later, there in the distance, was a scene straight out of blue planet with hundreds of Gannets circling and diving for fish. There always a good chance of seeing Dolphins when you witness this and sure enough a pod of at least 12 came and played around the front and sides of Watanga for around 20 minutes and quite a show they put on too. Leaping high enough to splash us on the boat.
Then that was it. The wind died out completely, the sea went flat and we motored on, finally arrived at St Michael’s at 1530.
We are now anchored just west of the Island.
