Day 23 - Saturday, 12th July - Imy's Birthday!!
In Dartmouth for one more night before an early start across Lyme Bay tomorrow.
After a short trip to buy supper etc, and drink in the local pub, we ate supper on board and enjoyed a fantastic firework display at the Royal Naval College - we had a grandstand view across the water.
Curiously, Imy was not up very early (!) and so we had a late breakfast on board after a shower and Jane did a laundry visit and then went across to Dartmouth on the Kingswear ferry around midday to find some lunch and have another wander around. Had a great light lunch in a Polish bistro on Anzac Road, where the main problem was deciding what to have from a very tempting, if short, menu.
While there I got a call from the marina to say that the owner of the berth we had been allocated was returning in 3 or 4 hours, earlier than his planned return tomorrow morning, so we would have to move Windhover. Not top of the list of what to do this afternoon, when a nice cup of tea/coffee and plenty of delicious birthday cake was much preferable.
As it was, the marina staff came to help take lines and it was no big deal, followed by putting the (nicely washed) tender away before settling down to tea. What a struggle! Sad to put the tender away, though, as we will not be needing it again on this trip.
