The weather forecast last night suggested that easterly winds of force 3 to 4 were to be expected. That is on the limit of what we like but we planned to take the first of the east flowing tide that, along with the wind, would give us a lift to the Scilly Isles. In the Helford River, you have to swing from a buoy because there are no marinas suitable for Jomima at 12 metres long. This is normally not a problem because we simply drop our dingy down from the davits and motor to shore for food etc. Unfortunately, the forecasted easterly wind of force 3 to 4 arrived in the early hours of the morning as a force 4 to 5 gusting to force 6 and was due to last for several days. This woke us early because we were moored near the mouth of the river and it faces east. This meant a change of direction and a move to Falmouth. Unfortunately, even that did not go to plan. Ann noticed that the cooling water coming out of the port (left) exhaust was decidedly erratic. Time for Stuart to get his hands dirty. This involved dismantling the water filter to find a strip of polythene sheet lodged in there. This did not actually totally cure the problem and meant a trip on one engine into Falmouth. When the starboard engine is doing all of the work, Jomima has a natural tendency to turn left and requires a large amount of starboard rudder to go straight and to actually turn right to any degree is nearly impossible.
