Falmouth


We had a light head wind, and motor sailed to Falmouth. Rounding St. Anthony's head, we turned in and passed to the east of 'Black Rock'. We managed to get a visitor berth in the yacht haven, which was very convenient for a shopping expedition into the town.


We stayed just one night in the yacht haven, then decided to move to the Helford river, three or four miles further down the coast. As we left there was a rather magnificent square rigger in the harbour, which was quite a sight with all the other impressive yachts.


Other notables included three beautiful 'J' class yachts........



........., and this yacht that looked as if it should belong to a Bond villain ( don't know if it had a submarine pen underneath though ! ).


We motored down to the Helford river in bright sunshine, and picked up a visitor mooring just upstream of Helford Passage.
