May/June sailex's on Bristol Pilot Cutter Morwenna

Sunday! TOG crew change over on Morwenna. New crew departing Falmouth and making for Shamrock Quay, Southampton.

The first crew joined Morwenna in Falmouth on Tuesday and to date have had a great few days sailing. Wind and tide thwarted the hoped stop over in the Scillies. Plans were changed and Morwenna made for Newlyn instead. Tonight (Thursday) the crew are dining in Fowey, they plan to return to Falmouth on Saturday ready for the second TOG crew to join her on Sunday.
