Saturday 8 May Dartmouth to Falmouth

Another earlyish start :( only 7:00 today but its necessary for the 65 miles we would be travelling . The day was slighty warmer but is is still thermals weather and a good NE force four with F6 forecast, so once again a brisk reach at 7.5 knots towards the Eddystone lighthouse.






Good time was made and then the wind dropped , following an hour under cruising chute it dropped so much it forced us to motor the last 10 miles. In the entrance to harbour Falmouth a basking shark surfaced within 12 feet of the boat , it was huge the fin must have been nearly 1m2. We finally tied up at the visitors marina at 18:00.

Now to look forward to tomorrow , its washing machine day.
