208 days here have reached 15C or higher this year.

I've been on the Scillonian III a few times and I can testify that it can be
a roller-coaster of a ride.

I have never seen so many people ill from sea-sickness. One particularly
rough crossing (it was July!!) there were holiday makers getting on the
ship, probably expecting a nice, pleasant trip as it was calm in Mounts Bay.
Things took a turn for the worst as the ship past Gwennap Head and into the
big swell of the Atlantic. There were bodies and puke everywhere! Even
crossing the Pentland Firth on the St Ola many times during gales was
nothing compared to this. When the ship arrived at St Mary's many people
were too ill to walk and had to be helped off the ship. I pity the poor crew
that then had the job of cleaning the ship, then again, they're probably
used to it!

Best to fly to Scilly (carbon emissions probably are not that different
either).
