The wind got even stronger yesterday so Dave P and I stayed on board just in case...Dave W took the kayak and had a paddle around the harbour.
We were also resting tired legs before today's adventure and a longer walk from the dinghy dock around the coast to Shirley Heights.
I love this walk although starting from Falmouth instead of English adds a couple of miles to reach the start of the path at Galleon beach. Once at the beach we walked up and around the coastline holding onto our hats for fear they'd be blown off our heads and then the final steep, hot climb up to Shirley Heights Lookout, a 17th century gun placement now restored as a bar and venue with fantastic views over English and Falmouth Harbours. On a clear day one would be able to see Guadeloupe to the south and Montserrat to the west, but not today. The return path to Galleon beach follows the spine of the hill downwards and only a mile away. Then it was less than 2 miles to the dinghy dock, 2 hot miles. At the end of the day my feet were sore.
