Possible Scilly Isles Trip

Hi

Ive been watching the weather forecasts and was wondering if anyone would be keen for a Scilly Isles trip, leaving Sunday morning from Penzance early and returning Monday.

Probably have to camp.

Ill be on my sea rider.

Took my sea rider over to scilly isles for a couple of nights. Was a big trip in not a very big boat. Camped for 2 nights. It was epic

Was a bit choppy around runnel stone and lands end other than that just a decent swell

Fuel Used:
23.5 Litres penzance to st marys
About 15 Litres going around the place
25.5 Litres st marys to penzance

Brought just shy of 90 litres with me

Had:
Radio
PLB
Flotation Suit
chart
compass
Phone

Camped both nights and brought my folding bike for getting around st marys.

Visited

St. Marys
Tresco
Bryher
St Martins
St. Agnes

had a little bbq down on the rocks at porthcressa beach

Parked in penzance car park paid for a week just in case bad weather came, was £26.50

That was indeed, an epic trip in a small boat. You seemed to get the fuel load right: third out, third back, third in reserve. Is there a handy refuel location out there? A couple of photos now and you're sorted...
