Mylor & up the Fal

Eddie & I blew up the inflatable and tried to get the outboard to run. The outboard wasn't having any of it. We tried bleeding through the fuel, and cleaning the spark plug, but still no go. We went ashore at Mylor for a new spark plug, and whilst there we had a shower and a very tasty bacon & egg bap, but we were unable to find a spark plug or get the outboard running.
We set off from Mylor heading upstream. We were happy to cut the corners with the depth sounder warning that we had less than two metres of water. It is what we East Coast sailors are used to. If the depth sounder isn't making a noise then it must be faulty.
The local boats were sticking to the buoyed channel.
We moored alongside the visitors pontoon near King Harry Ferry.
After borrowing an outboard, at 15;30 we headed to a nearby quay for an afternoon BBQ which was most enjoyable. We set up the BBQ's on the quay and the incoming tide did make cooking a challenge, but Eddie persevered even though it meant getting his feet wet.
We returned to the pontoon and enjoyed further drinks and hospitality.
