Zephyr IV departs Malpas on the River Fal, motoring through Falmouth Harbour in light, 9-knot winds.0:06 The crew motors past Dodman Point as the wind remains negligible, eventually shifting to the west and increasing to 23 knots.1:58 With the wind filling in, the vessel reaches speeds of 7.5 knots on a beam reach toward Fowey.4:47 As wind speeds hit 22 knots, the autopilot struggles to maintain a course, forcing the crew to switch to manual steering for the final approach.5:53 Upon arrival, the crew secures a visitor’s mooring in the crowded Fowey harbour, though a southerly wind shift causes an uncomfortable, rolly night.7:43 The following day, the crew briefly moors at Albert Quay for supplies before attempting to depart for the Solent.7:51 Encountering 30-knot headwinds and rough seas at the harbour entrance, they abandon the passage and return to a sheltered mooring upriver.8:37
