Scillonian crossing

After a brief 'night on the town' in Penzance, I joined shipmate Dave Blakeman for the crossing to St Mary's. Not a lot of action with a few Gannets most of the way, there were a few decent seabirds: 3 Bonxies, at least 3 Balearic Shearwater, 2 Sooty Shearwater and 1 Storm Petrel.

Arriving at midday, just a question of dropping off the bags and getting stuck in to day one (of 21!!)

I'll try and keep vaguely up to date with what's happening but check back - the images may well take a while to sort / upload!!
