Interesting Sailing Conditions

-






Today I took Olly and Hannah out for their first yachting experience. We left Torpoint early with the intention of going to Penzance, however after  just of 3 hours of doing 6knts in F5/6 winds with 2m following seas rolling about all over the place it became clear that it would be very interesting going round the Lizard, even getting to Falmouth would be a challenge and as Olly had already decorated the side of my boat we headed north into Fowey for lunch on a mooring then an ice cream in town. The wind picked up and we were glad we had made that decision
Location: Fowey, Cornwall, UK

A mix of Tandem and Solo skills demonstrated today from the Outdoor Students.
