2025 Sept 7th, Day 4 - Portquin Bay

Back in Portquin Bay for a flying start early on Monday, forecast SW F3-5. I was rather worried earlier, they were not sure the gate would open after earlier problems but I was in luck.

The gate decided to open for me but it was a rush to get back
to the boat and out after paying the very reasonable berthing fee as
the staff thought they might have to close it in c 45 minutes, I
didn't hang around to find out why!

Pentire Point and The Rumps from the western side.

It was another uncomfortable night and this time I was not tired and slept badly so was away at 03:00 before the alarm. In retrospect I should have anchored further to the south east in the next little bay which would at least have been free of waves reflected from the cliff. Another boat arrived overnight and when I left she looked completely stable although some of that would be down to her being substantially bigger.

Sailed from The Doom Bar to north of The Rumps.
5.7 NM in 2 hours including faffing about at each end.
