In the morning a very busy marine engineer called Nick kindly came out to Arwen to replace some washers and fix the leaky injectors for the diesel engine, and then I rowed back over to Fowey to take photos inside the church for Meg, before returning to Arwen and leaving around midday.
The wind was forecast to be from the north, but instead was from the south-west and very light, so ended up motoring for most of the afternoon with the autohelm steering so I could get away from engine noise and read guide about anchoring at the bow.
Entering Falmouth harbour lots of yachts were coming out to race, and approaching Falmouth Haven the visitor pontoons were all full so rafted up against a friendly couple John and Elaine.
Then went out to meet cousin Sarah and family who came to have a look at Arwen before we went out for a jolly dinner to catchup after many years.
The next day took Uncle John out for a sail which was very pleasant - with blue skies and light winds - and after met Auntie Ruth for lunch. Good to see family!
Arwenack Avenue, also called Rope Walk, as they used to make ropes on this long straight road.
