Like l said before we love Scilly but there isn’t any around shelter for yachts with deep keels and can’t take the ground. The lsles of Scilly is the one place where yachts which can take the ground come completely into their own. In deep water your normally a long way off the little shelter the islands can provide in a blow. If you can find sheltered anchorage or mooring, quite often in unsettled weather there will be a ground swell and yachts will roll badly.
Our last yacht a Hurley 22 had beach legs which worked well most of the time but they needed a quiet anchorage with no swells or boat wash. One of the reasons we bought Elektra was she had twin keels for Scilly.
The forecast for the week following our arrival in Scilly was strong west and southwest winds and Green Bay, Bryher inside New Grimsby Sound is ideal. So the morning after our arrival we moved to Green Bay. This year the Bay was very busy but we found a spot close to the shore with the other 25 yachts there. There we stayed for the whole of the next week. For the main the weather warm and was dry, with some sunshine.
Lots of walking for me and the occasional meal ashore for Vicki, lots of R&R for both of us.
Love Sailing
