We dropped our mooring at 6am and motor sailed down the Lizard against a light wind. Once past Lizard point we had the wind slightly helping us.

After a leisurely wander around the south side of St Agnes we motored to Hugh Town on the nearby island of St Marys.
3rd May
Friday was the day for the vets, supervets and masters races. Sue rowed in the ladies supervets race from St Agnes to St Marys. We were hoping to not come last but after a great start we were in the middle of the other gigs and beat our A team!!

6th-7th May
We enjoyed a day on the island of St Martins before sailing home the following day. We had a relatively long journey mostly motoring. The autohelm kept cutting out and we seemed slower than usual.
