Lucky Duck indeed

No you're not seeing things, Lucky Duck has two Easter eggs! Not bad seeing it's the end of May.

Because Kirsty an I haven't seen my parents since Easter my mum has been saving them. Now we've made it to Falmouth we can relax for a few days.






Fowey was as beautiful as ever and after having showers at the Fowey Gallant Sailing Club we went off to The Galleon and had two pints for £4.40...coming from London to Cornwall is worth it to save money on the beer alone, let alone the beautiful Fowey River. The sun was still out when we got back to Pixie, so we ate dinner in the cockpit.

This morning we took Pixie alongside the pontoons at Albert Quay and went ashore insearch of Pork Pies and Tiffin from Kittow Bros Butchers come deli, come heaven for anyone with an unhealthy appetite. I had to be dragged out of there for my own good, so Kirsty could get caffine from Brown Sugar, my shake was nice, though a little sweet, and Kirsty enjoyed her coffee.

Just before we set off I checked the engine oil and found it was a little low, so we got out of the harbour at 11, and enjoyed a very quick sail round here, there were a few big bits of water, but with the wind just aft of the beam Pixie was loving it. Although below it was rolling like a drunk after closing time Kirsty still managed to rustle up a couple of bacon sandwiches. How she does it I'll never know. We made it round in 3 and a half hours, quite a quick one for a heavy 32 footer.

Anyway we're now safely tucked up here in Falmouth, just waiting for Kevin from Marine Electrical Services to come down and look at out alternator, it doesn't seem to be charging the batteries as well as it should do. It was in Portsmouth, it isn't now. Boats eh?
