Scilly Isles

After Looe, we spent a few days of poor weather up the Helford river, a remote and peaceful spot, then motored around Lizard Point in a flat calm - but still some swell! After a night in Newlyn, we had a wonderful sail to the Scilly Isles, which were utterly stunning - white sandy beaches, clear blue water, huge tropical flowers growing everywhere and hundreds of birds. We saw several seals, plenty of shags and oystercatchers, and one puffin. Wonderful!
