Day 21 - Thursday, 10th July - sitting on a mooring in Salcombe after a great day, late up, nice breakfast, on to the beach for an hour and then across for a shower and a lovely walk for about two miles to Overbeck, a National Trust property, that we last visited nearly twenty years ago.
Sailed here yesterday from Fowey, a really fast sail in gusty conditions ranging swiftly from 15 - 25 knots on a beam / broad reach. We averaged over 8 knots for over four hours, frequently 9 or more and saw a maximum of 10.9 on a surf. Exhilarating stuff. 35 miles in fours hours, twenty minutes from leaving Fowey harbour to Bolt Head.
Leaving here in the morning to head for Dartmouth, a short passage, for two more nights there, including Imy's birthday on Saturday.
