PL Helford River to Scilly

Paul Merriman

A rolling trip to Scilly with wind mostly on the beam and around 18-20kts. Left Helford at 6am and made Lizard Point with the ebbing tide which gave us a good boost down the coast. A few other boats heading our way. Arrived in the middle of the afternoon and navigated into the North approach to St Mary’s Pool. Ended up on a buoy in the harbour just behind the lifeboat (who actually asked us to move off our original mooring as theirs was having maintenance done. Overnight in harbour - saw some Gig racing and had dinner and a couple of pints at The Atlantic.
