After setting off for Scilly yesterday evening the wind and weather developed into a full scale storm and the wind was gusting regularly over 70mph and then over 80mph. Mali's speed was only 3-4 knots and by now into the Westerly storm force wind - sadly they decided to turn around for the safety of the boat and crew.
They spent the rest of the night at anchor off Newlyn and are now against Lighthouse Pier in Penzance - waiting for the sea state to hopefully calm down a bit - before the next storm arrives tomorrow
