Thank you Simon. Unlikely to be peaceful with a stream of thunderstorms running across the Scillies. But I’m glad I have a good anchor and lots of chain. Seems to be holding well so far and I have a couple of Alarm apps running! Probably make some regular checks through the night. 🤔 have you thought any more about changing your anchor?

The forecasts had predicted 30 knots plus later in the day so left Mounts Bay early with little wind and foul tide. That changed later to fresh breeze (15-17knts) from stern quarter and following current hitting 8knts SOG.
Shipping lanes not quiet - behind one and raced ahead of another. Now anchored in Porth Loo beach near Newfoundland Island while the strong easterlies and possible thunder storms blow through overnight.
But I’m back in Scilly! Hooray! Ruth arriving Saturday and fingers crossed the winds are abating.
