Been storm-bound in the Tresillian River (up from Falmouth) for the last 3 days. Cosy hidey hole, particularly in “F6-8 Occasionally F9, seas very rough to high”…
It’s not all idyllic bays, beautiful sunsets and friendly wildlife you know…
Dolphins playing today
Had a good 15 minutes of continuous bow-wave riding from 3 or 4 dolphins, whilst sailing north past The Manacles (east of Lizard). Best encounter I’ve ever had.
Two Cornish gems
St. Michaels’s Mount:
Dolphins, dolphins, everywhere…
Over the last two days we have spotted at least 10 pods, with between 4 and 12 per pod, of dolphins off the south of Cornwall. Lot of mackerel about (or were). Unfortunately they were so focused on feeding that none came up to play with the boat so the photo is a bit long range.
Talland Cove
Cothele Quay
Beautiful setting and walks. Anchoring not for the faint-hearted…
My office…
Beats looking over the company car park at Crawley, anyways…
Neighbours on the River Dart
(L-R): Sally (mum), Sidney (pup) and Stanley (dad). Don’t ask…wine was involved…
Peace at the end of the day…
Long slog across Lyme Bay but beautiful anchorage above Dittisham
Ever wonder where cruise ships park?
Weymouth Bay – 5 at anchor, including Queen Mary 2.
