Having read all the posts, I have to agree that leaving from the South coast would be better. More options... I would say Penzance as that has the easiest launching, parking etc. Fuel is only 3 min drive away. As most of you guys are travelling a long way, perhaps should should have two options. If the weather is going to be good. Leave from Penzance, enjoy more time in the scillies. Its not a place to be rushed. The other option would be Falmouth, if the weather was crappy, you can spend days exploring the Fal and Helford or if the weathers good blast your way to the Scillies from there......

ok Cornish, thanks for that,,(hopefully you will be around for this)
It Definately will be a south side Launch
currently planning things such as fuel and bad weather stops etc,
What i do need to know at this early stage is fueling points at Falmouth, The Scillies and of course Penzance,
Contact Numbers? (are there any ribnetters that operate fuel pumps etc)
names?
location,
Are the fuel stops tidal?
Pontoon located?
any info would be great,, also the cruise is a family affair, so the more the merrier but overall its got to be a safe adventure!!
Ps the previous weekend is a bank Holiday, Traffic is nasty, hence the following weekend was chosen,, (also its my Birthday)
also getting to the point where i will book spaces at Penmarlem Campsite,(Fowey) so can i have some definate's

I'm reasonably familiar with the Fal.  I'll post details nearer the time. There are two points within Carrick Roads for petrol. If it's big amounts, maybe my truck, 'Gerald the Can' and Asda might be the way to go.

Mollers wouldn't entertain flogging petrol at a mere 20p/litre profit, unless there was certainty of 500 litres changing hands

Bedajim, I'm down at the Penmarlem Campsite for a few days from 23/05 trying out my new Northcraft RIB (all being well!). I'll look out for an Osprey and call round to say hello.
