V71-16 Newlyn to Padstow

Monday. We left Newlyn at 0500 and the forcast fog had not appeared. When we got into Mounts Bay, we could see the sea-level cloud around St Micheal’s Mount, and sticking to the west coast of the Lizard, but we remained in the clear as we made our way south.

The mist closed in as we past Tater Du lighthouse. After that we did not see the coast again until it started to clear at St Agnes Head. Visibility was completly clear by Kelsey Head (just before Newquay), and remained very good for the rest of the day.

We slowed right down as we approached Trevose Head, so as not to be early for the tide at Padstow. After the headland, we had a look into the bay at Harlyn, where we found plenty of dolphins. We entered Padstow at 2100.
