The tides are all wrong for us at the moment and we always seem to be sailing against the tidal flow. However, with the wind behind us we do not lose leeway in the same way as tacking upwind. We just get there a little later.



We said our goodbyes to Chris and Alison, leaving Fowey at 0800. The wind was light to start with, however by the time we were rounding Rame Head 7.5 knots was showing on the log..
We arrived at Cawsand Bay around 1230 and soon found a spot to anchor. Its quite a popular spot, being so close to the marina’s of Plymouth.
Cawsand is a typical West country seaside village with tiny winding streets, half a dozen bars, and lots of knick knack shops. It has a good vibe about it and we can see why people have been recommending it to us.
