Not quite to the Scillies

The trouble with The Scillies is that they are in the middle of the Atlantic.
The Atlantic is often windy, wavy and wet.

We reached Falmouth quite quickly and spent the next 5 days waiting for a safe weather window to get to The Scillies and back. Being late August in England, not surprisingly the weather got worse.

Anyway, Falmouth Harbour is lovely. So is the Truro River.

Perhaps to The Scillies next year.

This is us in Mevagissey on our way back east.

Off to the Isles of Scilly

Another voyage!

Today we set off from Itchenor for The Scillies. Probably via Portland, Dartmouth, Falmouth and Newlyn, but the weather will decide.
Mark and Gill are with us but Bonzo is staying at home.

Home again

Saturday: Left Portland 0615 (without hitting anything). Broad reach or run all the way to Chichester West Pole. Picked up mooring 1745. We've had a great trip.

Sunday: Another epic journey today. Water taxi to Itchenor. Bikes mainly along Salterns Way .. lovely. Train to St Haywards on the Heath. Bikes to home.

Monday: That's now!

Portland

Thursday .. still in Portland now in the marina.

Wind F8 maybe F9 later.

Spent the day baby sitting Isabel and helping to modify the van for the Bramah Family Holiday.

Portland

L'aberwrac'h to Dartmouth to Portland.
Sunny days with Helen, Andy and Isabel.
Lovely to meet up with Peter and Sara.

We are moored off Castle Cove and visit The Bramah's by flubber (wheel barrowing the flubber to and from the beach). Haven't been in a car since late May.

Will probably set off again from home later this week.

To Dartmouth on Thursday

Now back in l'Aber Wrac'h.

In the last few days have seen Porpoises and a turtle.
Today a dead whale.

Tomorrow we have the 115 mile crossing to Dartmouth.
Then to Weymouth probably on Saturday.

Our boat ...outside Sauzon
