St Mary's
This morning I moved from St Martin's to St Mary's. Only a short boat ride, but there were quite a few divers, plus all their dive kit, who were going home so it took a long while and a large human chain to pass everything onto the boat.
I got one of the only 2 (I think, maybe there's 3) cabs to take my luggage to my accommodation and I just left it on the doorstep and went straight back to town. I left Ziggy with a lady I'd met in St Martin's (who coincidentally lives a few miles from my brother and is a friend of an old diving buddy of ours) and who was having a coffee, and I went into the Co-op and did my food shopping. Because I spent more than £25 they will deliver it, so after paying, I simply wrote my name and accomodation address on the receipt and abandoned the trolley by the cold drink section.
It found it's way to my cottage, and by the time I got back a few hours later, the lovely lady who owns the cottage had brought in my luggage and put the cold shopping items into the fridge for me. What a service!
While I was in Hugh Town there was great excitement as the large RNLI launch came in with a yacht, probably about 40 feet long, strapped alongside. They got it to the quay and moored it and proceeded to pump water out. I heard that it had hit rocks and been holed and was starting to sink when the fantastic RNLI literally came to their rescue.
If you zoom in on the harbour in my extras, the launch and yacht can be seen towards the left hand side. The Scillonian is also docked as it returned to Penzance about an hour later.
The other extra is the Community Bus I came back from town on. Read what it says below Community Bus.
