A gale F8 was forecast for 'later' (that's in more than 12 hours) and untIl then it looked quite nice. The last thing you want to do is go around the Lizard in bad weather. Well, we arrived in Newlyn an hour or so ago and it turns out our decision was right! The Lizard had some big rolling waves but there was lots of space between them so you just sailed up one side and nicely down the other. When we got to Mounts Bay the sea really flattened out and we had a great 3 hour sail into Newlyn. This is a real fishing port where they have a couple of places for visiting yachts en route to the Scillies or even around Britain! Luckily we've got a nice berth to sit out the next couple of days of gales. We can now say we've reached the end of the beginning!
A couple of photos on the trip here. First Jean with St Michael's Mount in the background and then one of the Lizard itself
