Tuesday

 

Fine but breezy morning - but the wind continued to get much worse as the day went on

Early morning shadows making it tricky

Thought this might be Border Force - been around all day

One of the Aeoniums on the balcony has suddenly sent up a flower spike

The wind had really got up - Gwennap Head showed max. gust of 62mph but was 55-58 for most of the afternoon. It actually brought down our dangling branch that had been waving around since November

Afternoon walkies and Wooster demonstrating the size that the Alexanders have got to - they tend to fall over the paths and the lane

Walking down the hill with the very strong gale force wind trying to blow us over was really unpleasant

The wild water on the far side of Cudden Point

Vessel came a bit closer 

Scillonian III had a really bad trip back today - speed right down as she was sailing into the gale - which was much worse than forecast. Here she is arriving back in Penzance at 19.55pm

and going straight across to the Eastern Arm as the water was over-topping Albert Pier ( courtesy of webcams)

Landing craft Gugh left for Scilly, but turned around  and headed back into Pz. I watched through the 'scope as she turned around and she had white water splashing right over

Here is Gugh arriving back and heading straight into the Wet Dock
