For the second evening the delivery crew are having a tough time choosing between the £5 extra specials on the menu in this fine establishment in Falmouth. This is our reward for a tough 95 mile delivery sail from Exmouth in heavy weather. We have repaired all the damage and done some of the outstanding jobs, so the toilet no longer sloshes water around the heads, the main water tank is fixed and we have the auto pilot and fishfinder back in action. Just the masthead light to do when Kate is feeling brave.
The weather is due to moderate tomorrow so we will head off in the morning to catch the tide at the Lizard. Then we plan to round Land's End on the inner passage and head up to Wales. Lori is going to Skipper the trip as part of her Yachtmaster training miles, so has worked out a passage plan.
Now we are off to hear the Sea Shanty Festival. Last night the Exmouth Shanty men were in full cry, just like home! Tough old life this...
