Spring Trip to the Fal

[[70521]]

Just back from the first shakedown of the spring and a lovely trip up the Fal. Only ever been into Falmouth before and the trip up river was a delight. Note to self, visit again in the Autumn.

Never been up the Fal as always turn left at the entrance, but so may people recommend this detour that I think I'll copy your diary note!

what about turning right into st mawes as that's a good anchorage and a non profit port who seem to adot that ethos

I love going up the Fal, there's a special magic to summer evenings up there.

There certainly is. V relaxed and almost like going back in time, most places you can’t see any lights or hear anything but birds and foxes.

Don't believe any of it - it's a horrible place, dangerous tides and currents, loadsa noise, all manner of horrors. Best to avoid it and leave it to us locals to put up with

Watch the tides.I got stuck up there. By the way, they charge to anchor at St Mawes.

By the way, they charge to anchor at St Mawes.

Ive been anchoring for years in St Mawes and never been charged. I think Ive been lucky but anchoring just inside Carricknath Point (still inside harbour limits) may have helped me avoid such charges.
