We did a fly past of St Michael's Mount on the way and took hundreds of photos, none of which are probably any good!
We had to wait outside the harbour for several hours while they towed in a huge fishing lugger and manoeuvred it onto a tight berth. It was very entertaining listening on the VHF to the slightly stressed harbour master shouting instructions to the very laid back tug skipper. The only response he ever gave to any instruction or urgent plea was 'No problem!' in a very strong Cornish accent.
Penzance is a proper fishing harbour, with lots of old boats in various states of disrepair. Boat makeovers that will never be completed!
We found a very cheap Cornish flag in a tacky tourist shop, which after some modifications using cable ties, is now being flown as a courtesy.
Just about to round Lands End.
