Hello and goodbye to Falmouth
29 July 2014
Pip
We've had a fantastic couple of days, with visits from Mike and June, Paul and Ros (the previous owners of the then Brea Vean, who put together such a great boat that took us round the world), and also Pippa Sa- fantastic. Time to move on towards the Isle of Wight to catch up with some more of the family- up the Channel we go. I hope we don't take this relatively short trip for granted- the Channel has its fair share of surprises and challenges up its sleeve (get it- La Manche- up its sleeve... groan)- like tidal rips and races, lobster pots, naval exercises, big ships, fishing boats, lumpy seas even in benign weather- hope I don't start getting seasick again! So its farewell to pints of real ale, Cornish pasties, and the Maritime Museum, and looking forward to a couple of days 'real' sailing. Fish pie for tea (Tesco's finest!)
