Friday evening after arriving in Green Bay the wind picked up from the west, and howled though the night, by morning it was also raining. This weather continued like this for 36hrs, but by midday on Sunday the sun had come out again. During the same period the wind had veered from the west and was now blowing from the north. During the 50% of the time we were floating it had been pretty uncomfortable aboard.
On Monday the wind was forecasted to die away by midday and our plan had been to move from Green Bay to Porth Cressa but the wind didn’t seem to ease very quickly. So in the afternoon we just moved out further in Green Bay, because the wind had moved around to the north Elektra had started to get very close to the rocks along the shore.
Our friends Charlie and Jackie aboard Tantrum and Keith aboard Loube used the end of the day to get ready to leave for the mainland and by the time l got out at 0630hrs next day, they had both left.
With the weather due to improving again we hadn’t plans to leave Scilly for another week and were planning to move over to Porth Cressa for shopping, l think today is Tuesday? That’s seems to be my biggest problem at the moment, remembering which day of the week it is! Lol 😆
