Dolphins & Navigation

Last modified on:

Got back in to Falmouth on Friday after a trip to Fowey; We set sail at 11.30 on Thursday and got in to Fowey for 3.30 in the afternoon. I’ve got to say that Fowey is a really nice, typical Cornish port, and it has some great restaurants too!

After spending the night on Wazobia, we left at the same time as the day before, and got to the entrance to Carrick Roads for just after 2, having made about 8 knots over the ground (thanks to my new found navigational skills and tide stream knowledge!)

We had to wait for the tide to rise for an hour or so before heading to the marina, which had us pottering about off Maenporth, between the large ship mourings, where we spotted some dolphins! I think they were bottlenose dolphins, but I may be wrong:
