We visited Lauceston Romstormel and St Mawes Castles in Cornwall before getting to our B and B in Penzance. The Scillonion the following day was fairly busy but the crossing was calm and trouble free.We arrived in the Islands and found our house over the hill and http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/Isles-of-Scilly/blog-415780.html We loaded the dive boat and met Jo who was optimistic about the week ahead. Our first dive was on a wreck the Lady Charlotte after a bit of excitement Wayne and I ended up diving together and had a lovely dive. Our second dive was a scenic dive on a pinnacle with lots of anemonies.We ate in with Steve Jan and Tony having sausage and mash. http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/Isles-of-Scilly/blog-305946.html We didnt need to get to the quay as early on Sunday as we had loaded our dive kit the previous day so after a big breakfast we headed to the boat.

We joined the mad rush at the coop getting supplies just before it shut.Wayne and I had http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/Isles-of-Scilly/blog-305940.html I went to the Isles of Scilly in July 2008 however the weather was so bad when we arrived in Penzance that the ferry was cancelled that day.
