Helford River

The Helford river is a truely beautiful, and tranquil place, even with the plethora of boats of all descriptions that inhabit the river.

After supper we took the dinghy to explore Porth Navas, Frenchman's Creek, and Helford Passage - a couple of hours of bliss!

A little later in the evening, the square rigger that we had seen in Falmouth appeared in the entrance with sails unfurled - quite a sight with all the other boats in the foreground.

The weather has now given us the chance to go to the Scilly Isles, with a fairly settled day to get out there. We will make for New Grimsby Sound, between Tresco, and Bryher, which the pilot book assures us is a secure anchorage ( if we can't get a mooring ).
