Friday

After a really wild evening and night when all these bits blew off the Cedar Tree - hit the windows and then got swept into neat piles by the wind - caused by the gaps in the glass screens

The wind got up to Force 11 Storm Force and there were 22 "shouts" for the lifeboat over on Scilly so the Sennen lifeboat went over to assist - taking 3 hours to get there in the terrible conditions they were joined by the Coastguard Search and Rescue helicopter. Pleased to report all  were OK  - which is more than could be said about some of the tents both on Scilly and in Cornwall.

Hard to believe what yesterday was like - nice morning but still a bit breezy

There had been a warning that this trip on board Scillonian III would be a little wild and bumpy
