A beautiful spot with clear blue waters, but the constant swell and noisy slapping wasn’t making us feel any better.

The rough crossing had also damaged my charging lead, so no battery power in iPad (which we use as navigation back up) or phone. Deciding the best place to buy replacement leads would be Hugh Town on the largest island, St Mary’s, we planned to head there in the morning.

The lifeboat, which had been at anchor, set off for Hugh Town this evening.

Good news from Ireland Seal Rescue. ID-N004 is bright and alert and has moved to a kennel. He’s still quite small but has just started fish school, so hoping he will learn to eat soon!

As we’ve moved onto a new stage in our journey, we’re starting a new Tripmii blog - Two Scilly Bullocks on a Boat (how could we resist?). If you would like to follow search for Scilly on the Tripmii site, or request a link from us. https://www.tripmii.com/destination/show/tripid/10872
