Compared to Ireland and Scotland this was nothing but it meant we were storm bound in the Scillies for the day. When the worst of it had past Islay and Jeremy went for a kite in the super shallow and clear waters of the Tresco Flats. There was an abundance of seaweed, all various shapes and colours. It was so shallow that villagers from Tresco and Bryer could just walk between the Islands.

Mum who had been with us for the last week took the ferry back in the afternoon and probably a much less rolly ride than we can expect on Mentor tomorrow. We then walked up to see the Cromwell and King Charles Castles and watch the swell and waves hitting the Northern shore. The power and ferocity of the crashes of waves and the resultig plumes of water was mesmerising. Although it did make us appreciate not being out in it today.

Another BBQ back on the boat and acompanied by a swim to wash the hair and clean down the sides of Mentor. Early night ready for a potentially long day tomorrow. The swell should be a more manageable 6ft but it is still 66nm to Padstow which is the closest real harbour.

Seaweed has some important benefits – According to a 2016 study, published in the scientific journal Nature, seaweed sequesters approximately 634m tonnes of CO2 per year – roughly twice as much as the UK’s annual carbon emissions.

Seaweed is also being trialled as an alternative to single-use plastic. Instead of plastic bottles, runners at this year’s London Marathon were given water-filled seaweed pouches, which they could eat or discard on the pavement guilt-free.
