Finding new bits of Salcombe.

Although we’ve been here many times there are still new places to visit. After a quick shopping trip first thing We went upriver to Kingsbridge, something we tried before but got the tides wrong. Today the tides were just right and we made it all the way. Moored to a wall near the Crabshell Cafe and walked into town. Low and behold there was a Gemini Parked up on the council pontoon.

I wonder how level she sits when the tide goes out.

There was a farmers market on in the Car Park and we picked up a Woollen blanket, two handmade sausage rolls and a jar of honey.

We stopped for coffee at the Crabshell Cafe and ended up sharing a very nice pizza. Well we’re on holiday aren’t we.

Salcombe Yacht Club has a very large membership and a thriving dinghy section. We watched from the boat as many different classes raced up and down the river in their Saturday Club Series race. There must have been 100 boats.

Later in the afternoon we explored up Batson creek and came across where all these dinghies disappeared to.

Quite a busy day, Dartmouth tomorrow.
