PRAWN POT CATCH:  Nothing


We left the Isles of Scilly about 12.30 p.m. It was a much better day with blue skies and sun, but rain forecast for later. We had put a prawn pot out overnight but there was nothing in it in the morning – we don’t think we had put it deep enough to reach the bottom as we were anchored in about 10 metres.

We set a straight course for Oussant and motor sailed most of the way. We transferred diesel from our spare cans on the way. The rain managed to hold off until my night watch. We made water from the water maker about three times on the way as the tank overflows, but then seems to run out quickly. We picked up a buoy in Oussant about 3.30 p.m. when it began to rain again. It had been very tricky getting into the bay at Oussant as there was a 3.5 knot tide trying to put us on a set of rocks, so we had to actually aim for another set of rocks.
