1st to 9th May Penzance

The blog returns after some IT, issues!
Wendy, Dave, Chris and Stuart, made the crossing from Kinsale to Penzance in 32 hours, arriving on the evening 4th May. It was a bumpy ride so we were very happy to get to Penzance with the harbour tide gate open, so we could gratefully climb into our beds. Chris set off home on the 5th and Stuart on the 6th leaving Wendy and Dave to plan our next sail over to the Scillies. Sadly a combination of windy days and a minor but irritating leak on the engine cooling system means that we have continued to enjoy the delights of Cornwall. A temporary fix is in place but we have decided to stay until a new part arrives on Tuesday, so we can forget about it for the rest of the summer.
On the upside we are having a good time in Penzance and today we took the bus towards Lands End and had a fantastic walk back to Newlyn along the coastal path. The path was decorated by an amazing display of bluebells and other wild flowers, Cornwall looked lovely in the sunshine.
