Scillonian III got herself into a bit of a mess as she arrived in St Mary's Harbour - a big gust of the nasty NW wind blew her right across the harbour and onto the sandy bottom - due to the low tide
They used the two jet boats and Lyonesse Lady to push and pull her towards the harbour wall - after the tide had increased the waters depth !
She was later checked over by divers and given the thumbs up and sailed back to Penzance at quite a speed later in the day !"
Both photos taken by Robin Mawer of St Mary's - thanks Robin !
