Sense has prevailed and Mylor it is for the winter
Lovely bogs, lovely place, lovely parking, walking, cycling
oh yes..... and sailing.
It will be marvelous.
I am hoping to take Lily M over sometime in the second half of October and then I will move her around to Mylor.
Does anyone have any unwanted charts or harbour guides for the Fal area?
I promise to use and abuse them - the charts not the person who sends them of course.

My favourite marina down that way, great place to spend some time over winter
Dylan, great to see that you have chosen Mylor.
I have an old set of Admiralty portfolio charts. You are very welcome to borrow any charts you need. I’ll probably spend a few days at home 16-25th, not set in stone. I’ll be back to move my boat into its winter marina berth which is available from the 26th. Steve
The Fal reminds me of places along the Chesapeake…or the coast of Maine….great sailing country. I had no idea it was that popular, Fall and Winter sailing will be wonderful since much less crowded and busy.
Used to sail from a drying mooring in Restronguet Creek just off the Pandora Inn in a 20′ Hurley (heard it had had a fire so not sure if its still there) in the 1960’s. Lovely sailing area. Went back 4 years ago and sailed from Malpas to Falmouth, brilliant area. Lots of ocean going cargo stuff moored in the river but a very easy sail compared to the broads (no going aground there). Looking forward to your adventures there, will bring back a lot of memories for me
Above photos look great. My first sailing novel that I read was Peter Nichols’ “Sea Change” sailing out of Mylor Creek with a 26′ boat and a home-built wooden windvane, reminiscing over his past few years of marriage & sailing. Then across the pond until it sank.
But I’m looking forward to seeing this in your films. Have never been to the UK.
Your second shot is of the moorings at St Just in Roseland, just across the Carrick Roads from Mylor. If you don’t mind a swinging mooring, it’s quite cheap and very lovely. No lekkie though…
Oh you have come on a bit using avionics on an iPad – are you actually using the iPad afloat?
Navionics – sorry
Pandora (pub on the waters edge) did indeed burn down and now rebuilt. Best visited mid week in winter when its quiet.
St Just in Roseland is indeed lovely but the boatyard will be pulling up the moorings at the end of October. That means the end of our sailing till Spring.
A wonderful place to sail, you’ll love it.
I’m looking forward to seeing all the bits I haven’t been able to get to on the deep keeled boats I’ve sailed there.
Be aware though, that area is a gluepot for sailors and you might not want to leave…
