I drove us back home down the A30 and as we were approaching the Marazion roundabout we spotted yet another Tall Ship in the bay, so I drove to The Junction and took a few shots of the Stavros S Niarchos at anchor - sadly the sky was rather white at that moment, so it doesn't look as good as it should. Just spotted it - 8-15pm leaving Mount's Bay for Cardiff. Also out in front of us in the shipping lanes is the Cruise Ship Arion that has been in Falmouth for the day and is now on her way to Dublin. I think this is Falmouth first Cruise Ship of the year.

      Hi, A good week for nice ships in the bay, seems a bit empty now - just one big cargo boat out to the SE.
      Jim's results were fine - he's supposed to have one every couple of years - but it didn't solve the mystery of his loss of appetite & mouth ulcers, but having discounted the more serious things they will start looking for something else !
      Bye Sue

    And it was a lovely 4 hours anchorage for us too! (Possibly me up on the focsle. We had an iPhone streaming live to the web and the young people were invited to call their parents/friends and point them to http://www.westburybaptist.org.uk/tallships to see them wave!

    Shame it rained on our BBQ. We hadn't had any sails up all the way along the South coast and the forecast was for the wind to veer as we rounded Land's End and increase to Force 7 on our nose all the way up to the Bristol Channel. Luckily I think it backed as we turned the corner round so we managed to get 12 hours of sailing in on Friday.

    Peace, David
