| Ansteys cove | 2012-09-29 | A really great sail from SYC to Ansteys Cove in Dereks Sadler 26. The wind was ideal gently rising and dropping between about 12 knots and 20 knots. Even the sun shone - some of the time.

| Coffee at Sennen | 2024-09-18 | Coffee at Sennen Cove. Very odd without the hound.
Called in at the lifeboat station to see if there was news of what happened to the yacht that hit the Runnel Stone yesterday. There wasn't!

| Treen to Lamorna | 2024-09-17 | A quite tough coast path walk from Treen via Penberth Cove and Tater Du lighthouse to Lamorna Cove.
Lots of up and downy bits, some muddy bits, some very muddy bits and some scary as fxxk edge of cliff bits. So something for everyone really unless you want easy field walking.
But the drama was watching a racing yacht running under full sails downwind a couple of hundred metres inside the Runnel Stone south cardinal at low tide and towards the breaking water. Looked again 2 minutes later and he was dropping all sails and clearly on the rocks. Rang the coastguard who, as expected, had already been informed (probably by Gwenapp Head Coast Watch).
The coastguard said that Sennen RNLI had been tasked so we watched them arrive. Their offshore boat couldn't get too close because of the rocks so the launched their rib. We think they may have taken the sole (?) sailor off and then they waited until the yacht floated off the rocks after high tide. Not too sure what happened to the yacht after that!

| Brixham to the Exe | 2022-07-31 | Back from Brixham after the Drew trophy race. From Brixham to Ansteys Cove where we anchored for lunch. Then a lovely sail back to the Exe with the wind picking up a little bit as we closed on the Exe. Marvellous!

| Treen Car Park | 2021-09-17 | Because Treen Campsite was full with a VW Camper rally (with Seth Lakeman playing), we parked up in the rather splendid Treen village car park (£10 a night - the photo of the cruise ship taken from the car park).
