I’m struggling to find an exact arrival time (the original one was wrong) and this is an approximation.

Please add the "quiz day of the week" at the end of your posting. The previous posting to which you responded stated "Wednesday".

You may be interested to know that I telephoned Tresco Boat Services about times of sailings and they will only give out that information the day prior to sailing.

I was aware of this so based my move on the tide times for the Wednesday the 1st.

Do the boats run at low tide or high tide?

We seem to have entered the realm of complete guesswork - I reckon we might want to head back to Penzance as soon as possible!

 

[ValleyLines142]

This is actually worse than the Scottish ferries!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Gameplay.....Additional Notes

• So the game remains realistic, you should use the current timetable for the relevant day.

But what do you do when no published timetable exists?

 

[OxtedL]

We can proceed with a reasonable approximate arrival time, or we can ignore the move and do something else.

I'll leave that to a consensus decision.

 

[ValleyLines142]

Tresco Boat services appear to operate roughly daily a 4 o'clock sailing back to St Mary's Harbour, which should just connect in time for the 16.30 Isles of Scilly ferry back to Penzance for an arrival at 1915?

Could someone double check because this has given me a massive headache!

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

If nothing else, this happening should teach us that not everywhere has an easily identifiable public transport service.

This Facebook post suggests a 15:00 return last Wednesday. Either way, we should be back for the ferry to Penzance. Certainly the first time I’ve used Facebook to make a move!
