Now Elektra was back on her mooring, l wanted to go sailing again, so on Sunday l was out early and down to St Anthony before the tide went out, it was a lovely day but the forecast was for light winds.
At around 0845hrs I pulled up her mainsail on the mooring before mooring her out and setting all her genoa, sailing north across Helford River at about 2kts, when we neared August Rock buoy, l tacked her and we headed southeast, now doing 3-3.5kts SOG with I expect a little tide helping. It was lovely to be out sailing in what seemed like the start of summer in shorts and poloshirt. Sailing on southeast until the wind died away, so I turned Elektra and we headed north towards St Anthony Light House, logging anywhere between 0.8-3.5kts, all other yachts were motoring. But I continued to sail Elektra, Almost to St Anthony Lt, I then turned her south-southwest for Gillan, arriving back there at 1345hrs having logged 11nm in 5hrs!
Love Sailing
