Scilly Isles

I suppose that I should compile a complete diary of events during our trip to the Scilly Isles (England) this June. However, since I am new to this BLOG stuff and exceptionally lazy, I can't be bothered. However, here are a few piccies for those sad enough to have found this page...


To the left is the Lighthouse at Penennis Head on St Marys




Over to the right is the view of sunset between Tresco & Bryher. The building on the right is Cromwells Castle that replaces King Charles castle that was built too far from the waters-edge and couldn't lob its cannonballs far enough to be effective.




"Nadezhda" our Saltram Saga 40' sitting pretty between Tresco and Bryher.








To the right is 1st mate Fliss (also sitting pretty). The view is from Tresco looking North-East towards St Martins Island.






June is probably the best time to visit. The Islands put on an amazing display of a great variety of wild flowers. In addition, I think that some of the non-indigenous plants from Tresco's botanical gardens have made a bid for freedom and joined the local display.

Nadezhda In her Element

Force 7 off the Needles IOW.

Fliss, her brother Stewart and his ex girlfriend Maggie set out on a breezy spring day heading for Studland Bay. The wind was a little more than expected and the sea a litle bumpy as we crossed "The Bridge" just off the Needles Lighthouse.

It wasn't long before Maggie had her head in a bucket thowing up a breakfast that she hadn't even eaten. Stewart took photos of the event but I'll save readers from the gruesome pictures.

Stewart at the helm looking happy and confident whilst Maggie contemplates the contents of her stomach.

The Fishies are looking forward to their breakfast!
