The shake down had proved to be useful. We had identified and drawn a diagram of some new switches, there were also some we hadn’t worked out but apart from the top of mast anchor light, everything else seemed to be working.
On Sunday we went to St Mawes via dinghy and had a pub Sunday lunch and when we arrived back Peter had anchored Tela his S26 beside Elektra, it’s a mini Sadler Rally Peter exclaimed. The next day Peter had planned to go out to Scilly. But put off by the forecast he stayed and just went for a sail in Carrick Roads. When he came back he said he had seen force 7 on his wind instrument. I said it normally stronger winds in the Roads than in Falmouth Bay. I had a lovely long walk in the afternoon.
The following day Peter did leave but an uncomfortable sea pushed him into Mount’s Bay and he anchored next to St Michael’s Mount. We left a little later in Elektra and had a good sail back to Gillan. Once the tide came in enough we loaded the dinghy and motored into the beach and then home for showers.
