Sailing Shenanigans and Culinary Surprises: Our Whirlwind Weekend in Falmouth

Ahoy there, fellow adventurers and gastronomes! Picture this: a Saturday afternoon in the charming river of Falmouth, where the salty breeze dances through your hair as you dock your trusty vessel after a day of sailing. But hold on to your sea hats, because our weekend escapade had a touch of nautical mishaps, culinary triumphs, and a sprinkle of family fun that left us both thrilled and slightly sore (damn those groceries)!

Seas and Suppers:

Dinghy Safari & Sunday Surprises:

After a hearty noodle feast, we embarked on what can only be described as a “tiny safari” via dinghy. The Falmouth River was our playground, and boy, did we play! we arrived in Malpas Marina where we left the dingy and headed towards the Heron Inn where indulge us in some good Sunday lunch, after lunch we went onto another adventure that felt like we were sailing to uncharted territories. Alas, our bravery paid off as we stumbled upon a cafe, where we said we would take our friends too when they arrived fallowing weekend.

Monday Madness:

Monday rolled in, and so did our adventurous spirits. Our dinghy became our trusty steed, carrying us to the land, where the Trelissick Garden are, when tied up the dingy then we waited for the local bus to take us to Truro where we headed for some shopping and exploration. With our spoils in tow and muscles aching (groceries are clearly out to get us), we hopped back on a bus, only to be greeted by the waiting dinghy, like a faithful dog awaiting its master. back to the boat we go.

Learning and DIY Brilliance:

Family Feasting and Maritime Misadventures:

Later that week In came our beloved family – John and Julie – for a whirlwind visit. Our landlubber friends, armed with a car, led us on a grand expedition. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans, rendering our cherished café closed due to an unforeseen weather tantrum. Not ones to be thwarted, we sought refuge in the National Maritime Museum. While it had its moments of intrigue, we couldn’t help but agree that the ticket price was a tad too “maritime” for our liking.

Pizza Pleasures and Tearful Farewells:

In the end, the maritime mishaps were washed away by the discovery of a sourdough pizza haven – a slice of heaven on our plates! The pizzas were so good that we shed a tear as we realized that our impending sail across the tempestuous Bay of Biscay was drawing near. But fear not, fellow foodies, for we leave you with a savory recommendation: if your anchor ever drops in Falmouth, make sure your taste buds drop by that pizzeria. link here: for the restaurant on Tripadvisor.

So there you have it, dear readers – a weekend that sailed from noodle wizardry to dinghy safaris, culinary conquests to DIY triumphs, and from family feasts to maritime musings. It was a saga of salty seas, scrumptious sustenance, and splendid memories that warmed our hearts even in the face of tearful farewells. Until our next escapade, may your sails be ever billowing and your noodles ever gourmet!
