Tuesday - June 5th

The day started very bleak and wet. Eddie and I stayed below in our bunks snoozing and reading. The forecast for later in the week is looking doubtful for the crossing across to the Isles of Scilly.
We cooked up the final sausages left after the BBQ for breakfast.
I walked up the pontoon to Aquila who were experiencing problems charging the phone from the 12v. They had three lively grandchildren onboard who were not enjoying the rain. There was tears when one nose bumped another's head but chocolate made it all better. Gran wasn't going to share out her good stuff.
We diagnosed a dodgy charging lead and prepared for the decorated dinghy trip up The Fal.
Nine little colourful rubber ducks made for the head of the enchanted river, which was used as a film location for the 1950's version of Treasure Island. The twisted and curly oaks looking like mangroves.
After the three mile river excursion, a ten minute hike in our waterproofs from the quay brought us to the Kings Head at Ruan Lanihorne were twenty five sat down for the rally dinner.
Earlier in the Westerly Owners Association rally, George, the organiser had been trying to think of a collective noun for a group of Westerly's. I'd like to suggest a 'welcome' of Westerly's. The SW WOA group have made Eddie & I very welcome and we have had a wonderful Jubilee Weekend.
