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 theContinue reading “Mullion to St Michael’s Mount along the coast”

Coverack to Mullion Cove
The tide wasn’t with us until 1330hrs, so there wasn’t any rush to get away. But Coverack had become very rolly by mid morning and when we finally weighed anchor at 1230hrs it was a relief, there wasn’t any hurry so we sailed slowly towards Black Head. Then turning towards our Lizard way point theContinue reading “Coverack to Mullion Cove”
The forecasters are promising summer
Having had a difficult week at work due to rain and a problem with my leg! I woke up on Tuesday morning and somehow pulled a muscle or something in the back of my leg, by Wednesday l couldn’t put any weight on the leg without bad pain. Thursday morning l rang the surgery andContinue reading “The forecasters are promising summer”
Rain forecasted for Saturday
It had been a wounderful few days but now with rain forecasted for Saturday we decided to sail back to Gillan. There wasn’t any hurry, HW was 1636hrs, so after a lazy start and a brunch I lifted our anchor and Vicki started motoring Elektra towards the sea at 1330hrs. While Vicki was at theContinue reading “Rain forecasted for Saturday”
Summer has arrived at last!
That evening and the following day was a transformation, it felt like summer! After a good night’s sleep and brunch we lazed around in the cockpit for the rest of the day and late afternoon went into Fowey for a little shopping and evening meal. We met Robert and Mandy with their son Kert andContinue reading “Summer has arrived at last!”
Tuesday is better, we can sail to Fowey.
After going home on Sunday, Monday came in wet and windy but the weather showed an improvement from Tuesday. I told Vicki and she ordered shopping for delivery on Tuesday morning. We had to be home anyway on Tuesday to put out the recycling and pick in the empty bins afterwards as we now hadContinue reading “Tuesday is better, we can sail to Fowey.”
A few days at anchor
The following day was Thursday 11th of July, another lovely day but we decided to leave the cockpit enclosure up and enjoy the heat, after all this was meant to be summer even if the weather doesn’t reflect it! After brunch and washing up we mainly lazed in the cockpit enjoying the surroundings, l sleptContinue reading “A few days at anchor”
More time for sailing
After getting back from Scilly l started working but the weather had other ideas and my 4 days of work took 7 days to complete. The forecast was still changeable, and with the possibility of 12 days available, the Monday to Wednesday of the following week looked wet and windy. We decided to go localContinue reading “More time for sailing”
Homeward bound
On Monday 1st of July we pulled up our anchor in Porth Cressa and were motoring out by 0800hrs (what l didn’t realise at the time was if l had worked out the tide correctly, we should have left at 0600hrs or before). But that wasn’t in my mind at the time, the forecast wasContinue reading “Homeward bound”
We love Scilly (part 2)
On Saturday morning when l looked out, the wind had picked up from the south, Elektra was now swinging over the rocky area at the northern side of Green Bay. “Tantrum” the Moody 346 was very close ahead of Elektra. Vicki and l had a brief chat about what we would do, we might ofContinue reading “We love Scilly (part 2)”
