Sailing with Amy Clair

After a very wet sail from Fowey we awoke to a real pea souper. We won't be going anywhere for a while .

Back to Mayflower Marina again. Quite pricey at £42.60 / night but a good spot to pick up Sian and Andrew Moore for a few days sailing. Making good use of wifi to download lots of iPlayer stuff to watch whilst we are away. Also a good opportunity to clean the boat and to give the batteries a good soak charge. It's been more than a month since we have been on shore power and they need a boost ! 

O ur last day in Salcombe was a memorable one. Clear blue skies and warm weather was the perfect setting to go up to Salcombe Yacht Club, enjoy their excellent barbecue(and a pint of Doombar) and then settle down to watch the start of the Salcombe Yawls second race of the day. It's a very competitive fleet and cries of "starboard" and "water " rang across the estuary.  The other side of the coin is that Salcombe is a hugely popular place(for good reason) and the dinghy park is a thing to behold !

A real bonus today in that Salcombe was warm and unexpectedly sunny. A great way to start our summer cruising. Let’s hope the weather gods keep smiling for the next few weeks. 

We arrived back in sunny Salcombe on a beautiful day with sunshine and clear blue skies. Could have been Greece ! Here for a few weeks . Moored in "The Bag" on a visitors mooring . We are returning end of may to start our first major trip of 2018.
