Long nights and short day are with us now for the winter, we have already seen a fair bit of the autumn gales coming through. The Happy Return is still Newlyn but will be on the move back to Penzance as soon as they can find room for us.

Meanwhile the tides next week are somewhat in our favour for some sailing in the bay. So, if the weather is permitting, we will initially look to sail on Wednesday morning 2nd November, mustering on the north quay in Newlyn Harbour at 09:00, departing at 09:30. If the weather gods are with us, we will also endeavour to sail on Thursday 3rd November mustering at 10:00.

We make no promises on the weather but if you are free and wish to sail then text or call Mark to book your place. If the weather is unfavourable, then we will slip the sailing day to a more appropriate day.

If we have the number and have not moved back to Penzance, then we will try for a sail on Saturday afternoon the 5th November. Once again forward your names to me if you wish to be included on this sail.

Just remember that it is down to the weather which is unpredictable at best this time of year.
