We departed at 0830 in an overcast with flat calm and motored all the way until we anchored to the west of St Michael's Mount for lunch. By this time the wind was picking up to a northerly breeze of 10 to 13 kts and after an enjoyable repast in pleasing sunshine we sailed towards Newlyn. Just as we arrived a gaggle of gigs came out of the harbour in preparation for a days racing. The harbour was full of fishing boats of all sizes which meant there were only a few pontoons for leisure craft.
It is very interesting watching your progress on AIS but today you are classified as 'out of range' - I look forward to watching you all the way to Orkney and to know you are enjoying a comforting glass of Highland Park in the bar of the Stromness Hotel!
