Sailing round the Lizard...just

Peter Schranz on TELA

Slight delay leaving Penzance harbour due to the arrival of two ships meant I was an hour late departing. Thankfully the moderate SW wind and favourable tide allowed me to sail up to and just edge around Lizard point before slack water. Once past Black head a stringer adverse tide and less wind meant I had to motorsail up to the Manacles buoy and onto Gillan Creek off Flushing , a snug anchorage overnight .
