Early Morning Wake Up Call

It's usually the Fowey cockerel that wakes us up on sparrowfart o'clock, not this morning!

I could ear the rumbling of what I thought was the china clay cargo either coming back or going out to sea. Quick peek over the washboards revealed this!



A flipping cruise ship! Well blow me down! In full reverse, tug to stern, anchors dropped and slowly but surely inching her way backwards to her rear buoy!

We,ve never seen one come in here in all the time we,ve been sailing here.

Fowey allows about six a year apparently. Should make for a busy day in town today. One yacht nearby has already made a run for it back out to sea. Now they are parked, please turn the ruddy engine off I want to go back to sleep!
