We can't wait to be out on the water again, soon.

Thanks to Mevagissey to Fowey Ferry for outlining their seafaring reasons for non-sailing events.

🌊🐬 Good morning folks 🐬🌊

🌪🌧⛅⛈Just a little info on why we have to cancel a days sailing.⛈⛅🌧🌪

We absolutely appreciate that people wonder why we have taken the decision as at first glance at the harbour or out of the window, it may seem we have over reacted... But, here is a brief overview of the main reasons👇

🔴 It's chucking it down! We're not talking just a few showers or a little drizzle, but if we see 100% chance of flood inducing persistent rain, we are not going to expect our passengers to queue on the quay. Its just unpleasant!

🔴 A Southerly wind just one or two miles an hour over our limit:
We can sail the whole of the bay until it gets to the mouth of Fowey estuary. On a dropping tide in particular, combined with the strong southerly, the river creates deep trough waves that makes sailing conditions unsuitable for passenger comfort.

🔴 An Easterly over our limit:
There are two issues here, the sea state during a strong Easterly turns our beautiful calm bay in to a white water rolling swell. Then you have the wave that pulses in through Mevagissey Harbour causing excess movement against the harbour wall. It is absolutely essential that we can board every age and cater for those that might need a steady arm to step on to the ferry. When there is a large rise and fall, it is absolutely not safe to board passengers.
The Easterly can also leave us with a "leftover swell" the next day where we can easily sail the bay in the conditions but we cannot provide safe embarking/disembarking.

🔴 Northerly and Westerly winds:
We are more sheltered from the land so our limits are slightly higher but even so, over a certain level conditions become unsuitable for comfortable ferry passage.

We hope this gives you a little bit of information in to our world of seafaring and the responsibility we have to be as accurate as possible for our passengers wellbeing.

We want to see people leaving Bessie James with big smiles, rosy cheeks and great memories.

Monday weather outlook for Cornwall 🌥️

Since the turn of the century and with the odd exception (2003 comes to mind), August has consistently been the most disappointing of three summer months. So a hot, dry August is long overdue, but the latest model runs hardly look inspiring, so basically a few warm days, more rain later this week and blustery winds too.

The new working week starts off with some low cloud and murky skies for some, although some areas will have some lovely sunny spells but there is still that risk of a few light patchy showers in the morning. Temperatures on the cool side for August at 16c down to 13c and as the morning progresses the murky skies (low clouds) will hang around for some parts of the Duchy, and other parts will have some lovely sunny spells too.

The winds will be nice and light from a Northwesterly direction and veering to a Westerly in evening at 0-20mph, perfect for camping. While the sun is still powerful enough to make it feel quite warm, when it makes an appearance, top temperatures will reach between 17c and 20c.

As we head into the afternoon, we play a game of who gets the longest spells of sunshine! There will be generally large amounts of cloud around in the afternoon, but this won't be everywhere across the Duchy as more in land you are the less cloud you will see. When the sun is out (but don't expect a heatwave) it will feel quite humid and warm so please remember the UV levels are high, meaning you can still catch the sun though the cloud!!
In the evening, there won't be too much change in the weather, more sunny spells with variable amounts of cloud but the later stages of evening could see a few isolated showers around.

Overnight there will be a good deal of cloud around, bringing the risk of a few light patchy showers, this with light winds, a few short-lived mist or fog patches forming again and around dawn and in rural areas and in some exposed areas could turn a little chilly once more, but on the whole, temperatures generally shouldn't fall below between 10c and 16c.

Much of the remainder of the week sees variable amounts of cloud and a few showers, before it turns breezier and generally unsettled again. A showery weekend may then be followed by warmer improving conditions during the second week of August.

Kind regards,
KWT Dave.
