I am the very model of a modern boat hobo in penzance

there are a lot of pubs in Newlyn, all excellent apparently except they dont do fish and chips. Many other varieties of fish dish though.

finally managed to aquire a cornish courtesy flag a couple of days ago from a model shop in penzance intended for a car but works well on the boat.

Yesterday horizontal weather in Penzance. Lifeboat towing in Yacht. Got some sticky back plastic to make name for the starboard side, might put blog address also for promotion. repaired hang loop on shore jacket. walked up a big hill. HM kindly charged my VHF. started engine for the hell of it.

today i am in an internet cafe printing the xcweather long range forecast for penzance and the met office inshore waters. looking like monday could be a a goer. shopping for car atlas (better for passage planning than the large scale charts for navigation), soap, coffee whitener and tobacco.

plan to fiddle with series drogue this afternoon, sort out coachroof covers to keep the rain at bay and allow ventialtion at the same time. i must also check my bottom for any growth (barnacles, weed, etc.)

there you go
