On Day 22 we were exploring Tresco island, but as August drew closer, we needed to try and get across the channel and Biscay with some good weather. Tomorrow (day 24) looked good for a channel crossing, so we wanted to prepare by getting as far south and east in the Isles of Scilly as possible.

Our anchorage of choice was on St Marys south side, and the route we chose took us through the Isles.

We arrived at our anchorage fairly late and it was quite busy so we anchored on the outside which lead to a slightly rolly night.

More on this anchorage in the Day 24 post…
