Z05-25: Crossing; Ireland – Scilly’s – Cornwall (350M)       

From Dublin, we will set sail for Falmouth on England’s south-west coast in Cornwall. From the Irish Sea across the Celtic Sea around Land’s End,via the Scilly Isles. Weather and tide will ultimately determine our route, but the plan is to do this in manageable stages.

The first one or two days we will stay on the Irish coast, so everyone can get used to the ship quietly. A nice stretch along the beautiful Irish coast and out of Dublin.

Then we will cross towards the Scilly Isles, a distance of about 135 to 200 miles. That means one or two nights at sea, where we will sail on in a watch system.

We sail with a 3-watch system, 3 hours on and 6 hours off. In this way, you ‚ll still get enough rest and you ‚ll be sharp when your watch starts. Especially when it is colder (at night), this system makes it more comfortable to be on watch.

The Scillys do not have a harbour, but there are several attractive anchorages. Depending on the wind, we will pick the best one and the tide will determine when (and if) we can anchor there. If the weather cooperates, we will have a day to recuperate and stretch our legs on one of the beautiful islands, which appear subtropical due to their beautiful vegetation, beaches and clear waters. On the final leg, we will round Land’s End and sail from the Ocean into the English Channel. This sailing trip is planned a little longer, which means that if the weather cooperates, we can call at the fishing port of Newlyn or anchor in the Hellford River.

Falmouth is a beautiful and welcoming harbour, where we end the trip in a nice restaurant and, of course, a beer in a cosy pub in the evening.
