We’re back aboard after a long, hot, train journey yesterday. There’s a substantial rally of Swallow boats around us and the conditions are not good for going far. There’s up to 20kts of wind blowing us straight onto the pontoon, with an unattended yacht rafted to us. Not comfortable. Others have advised avoiding the outside of the Mylor visitors pontoon in these conditions. It’s now clear why. The harbour staff helpfully move our neighbour alongside two RIBs behind us and we extract ourselves easily enough.
We head up river under staysail alone, then it’s back to engine as we get into shelter. We’re definitely moving more easily than previously, so it looks like the scrub was needed. We moor on the visitors pontoon above the King Harry Ferry and enjoy a quiet afternoon and evening.
