Newton Ferrers to Dartmouth,

A late start today on a day promising little or no wind. Having left at 0930 and made good progress to Salcombe. We decided to sail even though it meant a longer journey. Well we had an hour or so until just past Start Point where the wind dwindled to nothing.

By this time it was getting hot even with the light wind from the boat moving along. 90 min’s later We were berthed safely in the middle of the river at Dartmouth.

Tomorrow we set off early 0600, which should see us reach Portland at 1500. We’ll decide at that point whether to push on to Swanage or overnight in Portland..
