One of the pleasures of travelling by boat is that it gives you an appetite that, with the help of Ann’s excellent cooking, we can then satiate with fresh produce. For me, the best shop on this coast is Fowey Fish (www.foweyfish.com). It is a well run shop with some excellent fresh fish – a lot of which is caught locally by the son of the owner. However, what makes the shop even more interesting is the unusual fact that they also sell some excellent wines. It is therefore possible to buy some fresh scallops and a bottle of chilled Cloudy Bay white wine to go with them. Doesn't that make your mouth water?
Earlier that day we had made use of the excellent, but bumpy, local bus service to Charles Town. There we were able to admire the square-rigged sailing vessels that were in for repair using traditional methods. The whole place is a step back in time with its small harbour and very old quaysides. This must be highly profitable following the popularity of some of the latest films like, “Pirates of the Caribbean”.
