Tregothnan Estate
10 de maio de 2023, Inglaterra ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
After yesterdays rain, the weather was perfect today and we had a fantastic day.

We went to Tregothnan Estate, home of the Lords Falmouth for 700 years. It has the U.K's only tea plantation and tea production was explained to us. We started in the village of Coombe and walked through woodlands, past farm cottages and on tracks that have been used by villagers and farmers since the Norman times. The scenery was superb.Leia mais

Another Sunny day in Cornwall.
21 de abril, Inglaterra ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
Wandered around the streets of Truro. They have a magnificent gothic catherdral and a really lovely pedestrianized town centre. Went on to Falmouth the port has huge dry dock sat and had hot cross buns for lunch at the port. 29 pence for 4 at Sainsbury s. !!! Thats about 70 cents Everything is so much cheaper here.
Headed on to the Lizard and then to Polkinghorne Manor
B ack up the stunning Atlantic coast. St Ives. Hayle. Porthowen and St Agnes Yummy Cornish Pasty for dinner.
Question of the day. Why can't the English provide decent road signage so you can find your way around.
Reverse gear got a thrashing today....Leia mais

Truro
25 de setembro de 2023, Inglaterra ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
Leb wohl Koppi! Ein letzter Tag gemeinsam an Land. Ein letztes Mal gemeinsam Einkaufen. Wer nicht Auf Wiedersehen sagt, kann sich auch nicht wieder sehen! Deshalb bis zum nächsten Mal! Die Planungen laufen :)

Truro als größte Stadt der Region liegt per Boot nahezu unerreichbar am Ende des Flusses Fal. Wir nehmen die Landvariante und fahren die 4 km mit dem Bus. Es ist ein eher notwendiger Trip. Die Stadt bietet wenig für Tagestouristen wie uns. Eine riesige Kirche im Kern der Stadt ragt gigantisch über den Rest der Stadt hinweg. Doch viel mehr lockt uns leider nicht an. Höchste Zeit Wäsche zu waschen, einen kurzen Snack zu holen und dann dem Großeinkauf für die nächsten Wochen zu machen.
Voll beladen geht es am Abend zu 3. zurück an Bord. Wir warten weiterhin ab. Nothing new from England! Wir melden uns bald wieder :)Leia mais

Cornwall Records Office, Truro, England

We dropped in here today hoping to get a couple of questions answered. The first one was answered. They pulled out the big book you see in the photo and we were able to learn why my GG Grandfather was sent to Bodmin jail that we visited the other day. He and another boy stole some hair. Yes I said hair (This was at a time when wigs were being made). He was sentenced to 14 days and was "orderly" during his time served. I was also able to get a copy of my GGG Hancock Grandparents marriage record.Leia mais

Maintenance and lazy days
12 de junho de 2021, Inglaterra ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
A very enjoyable and peaceful 3 days in the Fal catching up with maintenance and sharing stories with fellow cruisers from Dartford over a BBQ on the pontoon.
Painted the anchor chain and spliced some additional rope onto it -let's hope i did my homework correctly when I watched the video how to splice or we could be floating of out to sea.
Falmouth classic regatta was on and we were treated to several of the old yachts sailing past. Even had a ring side view of one as it came to an abrupt halt opposite the pontoon in the mud - the tide had gone out a little faster than expected!Leia mais

Leaving the Scillies
10 de junho de 2021, Inglaterra ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Another foggy day with a difference.
8am on the dot the Royal Yacht squadron fire a Canon across the Scillies and the flotilla of approx 20 boats, that have arrived over the past 2 days, all hoist their string of signal flags. Apparently they had all sailed here together from Cowes in order to celebrate Prince Phillips 100th birthday. It was a very pretty sight but a shame we could only see the closest few boats because of the fog.
Waiting till 11am to set off hoping the fog would clear made no difference so we headed out and slowly navigated our way around the islands before heading east across the traffic separation zones off the end of Cornwall. All in all a slow crossing but well worth it as a warm greeting and a Gin and Tonic was waiting for us on arrival at Malpas, up the river Fal.Leia mais
