Scilly to Starcross

19th to 25th August
Scilly-Mousehole-Gillan Creek-Percuil R.-Polkerris-Kingsand-Anstey's Cove-Starcross

Final evening in Scilly (St Agnes)

Anchored outside Mousehole harbour

Peaceful anchorage off St Michael's Mount

..where National Trust was busy with thousands of visitors

The last week of this trip was blessed with fine warm summery weather, and the final two days with sparkling seas and good breezes. Of course, I didn't want it to end - so lingered, appreciating my good fortune, and acknowledging the severity of sailing addiction! (Like any addiction the let-down is uncomfortable, even if in this case, I've appreciated a shower and comfy bed on reaching home.)

Percuil River tranquility....

...contrasting with the roar of Red Arrows near Fowey

Colourful Kingsand, near Plymouth

Anstey's Cove

..and so up the River Exe and home (passing Exmouth)
