ISLES of SCILLY - BEAUTIFUL ISLAND ESCAPE in the UK - vlog 2018
On this trip, we are island hopping in the crystal clear waters of the Isles of Scilly. This archipelago looks like the Caribbean but is found only 45 minutes by boat off the coast of Cornwall in the UK. We boat around the islands including Bryher, St. Mary's, and Tresco to visit the Abbey Gardens, beaches, and explore the island by bike.

The Isles of Scilly - The Scillonian III Arrives at Hugh Town Harbour, St Marys
The Isles of Scilly - The Scillonian III Arrives at Hugh Town Harbour, St Marys
Video Produced by Paul Dinning
RMV Scillonian III is a passenger ship based at Penzance in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom, run by the Isles of Scilly Steamship Company. She operates the principal ferry service to the Isles of Scilly, assisted by the cargo vessel Gry Maritha.
The Scillonian III was purpose built for the Steamship Company by Appledore Shipbuilders Ltd of Appledore in Devon and was christened by H.R.H. Prince Charles, Duke of Cornwall on 17 May 1977 and entered service later in the same month. She is the third passenger ship to carry the Scillonian name and made her first trip to Scilly on 19 May 1977, sailing from Bideford to St Mary's. On the arrival of the new ship, critics found it too big, they will never hold her, not suitable or not as good a sea boat as the old boat (the same had happened when the first Scillonian went into service in 1926 and again with her replacement in 1956).
The Scillonian III has a length of 68 m, a beam of 11.85 m, a draft of 2.89 m, a gross tonnage of 1255.25, and a service speed of 15.15 knots (28.06 km/h). Due to the number of tidal currents which meet off Lands End, and the need for a shallow draught to allow access to the Islands, the sea journey can be rough, causing sea sickness (leading to the ship being nicknamed The Big White Stomach Pump). For this reason the ship is fitted with a Flume antiroll stabilizer system.
The Scillonian III is currently in service for passengers and cargo 8 months of the year, carrying up to 600 passengers for day trips or longer holidays to the Islands. As a preferred means of transport between Scilly and the mainland, she is a familiar sight in Penzance and St Mary's - often photographed by tourists and also featured in the BBC series, An Island Parish.
In 1998, faced with the cost of building a new ship, the Company decided to give Scillonian III a major refit, during which over 50 tons of steel were used to increase the standard of the ship. The ship also had 3 new generators and a new bow thruster fitted. The cost of this was £1.7 million. In early 2007, press reports indicated that Cornwall County Council was expected to approved plans for the construction of a new ro-ro ferry at a cost of £17.5 million. This vessel would be leased to the Isles of Scilly Steamship Company and would replace both Scillonian III and Gry Maritha. The scheme subsequently collapsed.

UK Coastguard coordinates rescue after boat near the Scilly Isles takes on water
Forty eight passengers have been rescued safe and well from a boat off the Scilly Isles, after it was reported to be taking on water.
All passengers were recovered safely onto the St Mary’s lifeboat, some having been transferred onto other local craft first after the vessel started to take on water.
They were then taken back to shore before the lifeboat returned to the scene.
This footage was taken by the HM Coastguard search and rescue helicopter based at Newquay, which was providing top cover, if needed.

Memories of the Tresco Helicopter - Tribute to BIH
Nothing made a trip to the Scillies more special than when it begun at the heliport in Penzance. I had flown annually with British International Helicopters to the islands, until it ceased services on October 31st 2012.
Now it's up to the Skybus planes to get us across. Still nice, but nothing beats going by chopper.
These photos were taken from roughly 2010 - 2012

The Gry Maritha is a freight ship based at Penzance in Cornwall, England, United Kingdom, run by the Isles of Scilly Steamship Company.
Gry Maritha was built by Moen Slip in Norway, in 1981. The ship was named after the daughter of the first captain, Tor Sevaldsen.
Purchased in 1989 by the Isles of Scilly Steamship Company, she is a lifeline to the communities on the Isles of Scilly as she provides the only method of bulk freight transport from the United Kingdom mainland. She carries just six passengers and was acquired for all year cargo and winter passenger services, as Scillonian III is laid up through the winter. Between 12,000 and 14,000 tonnes of cargo a year are normally carried by Scillonian III and the Gry Maritha.
Most notably, the Gry Maritha carries all the fuel requirements of the Isles of Scilly, using transportable fuel tanks on her deck. These are loaded and unloaded by the deck crane. Towards the stern, the deck can accept standard freight containers.
