With bad weather over the next few days, the Scillies have been shelved for this trip, maybe another year.
We have now begun planning our return journey, starting with a 25 mile trip from Falmouth to Fowey. As you can see the morning started as a dead calm and continued to be very light winds for most of the time.
We had anchored 4 miles up the estuary so it was getting on for a hour before we passed between Pendennis and St Mawes Castles and rounded St Anthony lighthouse into open sea,
When the sea is flat, dolphins are easy to spot, and there were quite a few around, but were too busy feeding to come and play!
The screecher was up for the last two hours or so but it wasn’t helping much so we continued by motorsailing. At 12 o’clock we were in sight of the entrance, just needing to skirt round Cannis Rock before entering the harbour.
We berthed behind “La Sociere” Chris and Alison Bell’s boat with Chris waiting on the dock to take our lines. After spending the afternoon in town and then dinner on the boat, we spent the evening on their boat catching up.
