A sailing race is planned for the end of the month and several of the boats had arrived in Falmouth Harbour to practice.  It was fun to see them all coming and going in and out of the harbour.

The water was quite clear in Falmouth Harbour off of Pigeon Beach and we were able to snorkel.  We were anchored in about six or seven feet of water, which is very shallow for us, as the bottom of our keel is 5’5”.  The bottom was mostly grass with occasional patches of sand.  The patches of sand is where we tried to position our anchor so that it would hold well.  We ended up anchoring twice because the first time we were too close to other boats.  The friends that we had met in Jolly Harbour were anchored two boats away from us.  While we didn’t spend much time with them, we did stop to chat on Sunday off of the back of their boat.
