Mass Exodus

When there is a decent weather window the masses depart and that's exactly what happened yesterday in Fowey.

A huge flotilla left one by one making the most of it before the new low front hit last night.

We had a cracking sail back in a moderate sea with big swells as we approached Rame Head. The skyline was littered with boats in full sail, a lovely sight.

The only blot on the landscape as far as das captain was concerned was the sight of Nowhere Island being towed towards Cornwall and her home for the next few days as part of the cultural
Olympics. Tax on being stupid more like according to das captain who lost his Olympic spirit for a moment.

We arrived back mid afternoon and after a quick sort out and some lunch we both crashed...knackered after a brisk sail.

Last night was spent watching the closing ceremony aboard the inlaws bot Mairadon....cracking and quirky what a magical two weeks it has been for Blighty.

Going back to das bot after midnight the new low front was well and truly in, it's been a rocky and rolly night aboard RedSnapper....at least it's now stopped raining and the wind has dropped for now.
