Day 116, Aug 24th Falmouth to Fowey.

Now while I can understand that there is an energy crisis, and the cost of energy is rising, Port Pendennis takes the biscuit on overcharging. £41 per night plus £7 per night for electricity, over the top by a long way. Granted they have a good position adjacent to town and are the nearest marina to open sea, but facilities are mediocre and a long walk from the pontoon. and the marina is right next to a Naval shipyard. Hardly Premium.

So today we move on to Fowey, it’s a mizzly morning and as we motor out of the Fal estuary (no wind) we can see showers of rain here and there, reducing visability to 1/2 mile as they pass over us. Not so much rain as drizzle. For a day with no wind the was a surprisingly large swell, but caused us no problem as it was coming from behind and allowed us to surf a little.

Fowey soon appeared on the horizon, and as we approach we could see quite a lot of boats leaving so we’re pretty sure there would be space. On arrival we were spoilt for choice, with lots of spaces available.

Fowey was it’s usual busy place, lots of people, wandering the shops and eateries. We had an ice cream at Moneypenny Beach while watching the tourists on the beach.

In the evening we went to the Fowey Gallants Yacht Club for an evening meal, whilst watching the Troy class boats racing. We chatted to a couple of club members who were very interested in our trip as it was something they were planning in the near future, I hope we didn’t put them off!

    You certainly didn’t put us off….it was great to meet you and hear about your trip. We picked up a few good tips for when we eventually do our own “round Britain” trip although we’re still undecided on whether to do the figure of 8 or not. Best of luck for the rest of the trip.
