… Rain has been forecast over the next couple of days and we reasoned it would be better to be somewhere a bit busier rather than watching the water run down the windows for that time. So onward to Falmouth.

A grey drizzling morning, everything damp. Port Pendennis marina was full but put us on a waiting list to get in, we were second in line for a place so a good chance of a place as people left. We started off and made our way toward the entrance of the river the drizzle turning to mist and then to fog. Always a nightmare for boats.

On with the radar and ready to turn back if it got worse we gingerly made our way out. At worst the visibility came down to about 1/2 mile. The sea was flat and the radar was even picking up some of the pot bouys, slightly confusing when your looking for a boat!

It was only a journey of 7 miles and the fog lifted not long after we left the estuary. We had a clear run in to Falmouth and anchored just off the marina to await our invitation to berth.

The mighty 65 metre schooner “Adix” was alongside taking up most of the visiting berths, and when the call came to berth it was virtually underneath the stern of this massive boat.

We wandered into town and did some shopping, replacing my broken sunglasses. Then down to the quay area for a coffee. Watching food being delivered to tables nearby we were soon tempted, and ended up having pizza’s, then to cIear our palettes, some cider.

Back to the boat for a quiet evening, catching up on the blogging.

We’ve booked tickets to the Knight’s tournament at Pendennis Castle tomorrow, can’t miss a good castle now, can we.
