Right then.
Camping up the Helford. 3-4 hour trip across Falmouth Bay (weather allowing). Nice little spot between Frenchman's Creek and Tremayne Quay.
High tides on Saturday 31st of July is at 0905 and 2111 (Lows at 0314 and 1521) should allow us to get to the Helford River mouth by 1800 and perhaps wait for the tide if required at the Ferryboat or the Shipwrights.
Weather should be alright (overcast but dry), at least the coast will give us cover from the offshore wind (NW@13mph backing WNW@mph).
I need to get back by about 1200 on Sunday
