4 Kidneys and a Wonky Leg

Our late arrival to Falmouth yesterday meant that we couldn’t fill up on fuel until this morning. The knock on from of this is we didn’t have enough time for the passage to The Scillies. Having fuelled up and taken the opportunity to do some shopping in Falmouth, we moved on to the Helford River, one of our favourite anchorages. Stopping near the entrance to Frenchmans Creek.

Now we come to the weather. Looking ahead to next week there are several days of easterly or north easterly winds. Some quite strong. This potentially would trap us in the West country. We could get to the Scillies tomorrow, however, Thursday looks rubbish weather and also we would need to come back on Saturday to have any chance of getting back home by the following weekend. Taking this all into account, we have sadly made the decision, not to carry on to the Scillies.

Better to enjoy our holiday in West Country while we gradually make our way home.

Something we missed off yesterday’s post was dolphins. Not far from the Eddystone lighthouse we were joined by two adults and a little one playing at the front of the boat.
