After yesterdays gruelling 15 hr passage. and then a short night, We were off again at 0600 this morning.The water was as flat and smooth as glass as we slipped the mooring. Just a few fishermen and dog walkers on the shore as we motored south to Dartmouth. By 7 the wind had picked up speeding us down past Torquay with its giant cruise liners cluttering the bay.
As we made our way across Start bay. I took advantage of the steady wind and conditions to have 40 winks. Leaving Russell in charge. Swapping places with him for the subsequent hour. Then wind was playing ball today and let us have a single tack across bigbury bay and Plymouth bay.
A quick tack or two to get round Rame Head and we were set to get to Fowey in one hit. And then again no! the gods of the wind ran out of puff and direction and so the last 3 hours were done on motor.
Another 15 hour journey, very tiring, but altogether far more enjoyable.
And we don’t have toget up at 0600 tomorrow _ Yippee.
