After a good night at anchor, when l got out about 0700hrs 4 of the yachts had already left, l don’t know where to but this would be a good place to leave for Scilly from. I rowed into Mullion Harbour and went for a walk to take photos.
Once back aboard l lifted the dinghy onto her davits and Vicki made brunch and l washed up. Again there wasn’t any hurry to get away because the tidal stream would be against us until 1400hrs, but being neep tides and not that strong in any case we weren’t going to wait until then. We weighed anchor at 1215 and motored slowly north along the coast. A breeze filled in from the northwest and we sailed as far as Porthleven. We could of tacked and sailed away from the coast but rolled away the genoa and motored on along the coast instead.
Motoring on along the coast the wind died away and we were enjoying looking at the coast with beaches and Cornish tin mine engine houses on the cliff edge
It was a wonderful day in fantastic weather and after 3hrs we arrived at St Michael’s Mount and dropped anchor, where could you find better than this?
