Penzance Bay to Helford River

The morning of the 24th was very quiet and we motored gently past the famous Saint Michael's Mount, which is a castle situated on a high island isolated from the mainland by a spit of land that floods at high tide. Very Impressive. Then we motored towards Lizards Point so as to reach it at slack tide because the overfalls and rough seas are reputably terrible. However the wind increased and we sailed on a close tack towards the headland and then because of the wind direction we had great difficulty rounding the head, and of course the sea was very rough.
