The harbour itself is one of the largest natural harbours in the world; parts of the harbour are very commercial but near by there are some beautiful bays. For lunch, we anchored at St Just Pool with an excellent view of the Roseland Peninsula. However, our lunch was interrupted by a boy in a very small sailing dingy who had obviously failed to notice that the strong wind was taking him away from the coast towards the middle of a very busy harbour. Needless to say, he was unable to return under his own sail power so we retrieved him with Jomima – which must have looked like the QE II to him on his wet ironing board! We were able to get a line to him and keep him from travelling further into trouble until his father arrived with an outboard powered dingy to tow him back to shore.
Unfortunately, after a brief trip outside the harbour, we decided that the wind was considerably stronger than forecast and decided to spend the night at Port Pendennis Marina again. This at least gave us time to remove the dirty fuel marks from the boat, with the aid of some spray on cleaner and a lot of hard work.
