Woke up to another stunning day in Fowey. Not sure I like the early morning dawn chorus of x two china clay ships @ 6am! Left about tenish to the wind bang on the nose so no sailing for us today, just motor.
Not a boat in sight until just off looe when a solitary fishing boat was trawling her nets. W listening to the radio as today numerous calls via cardigan notifying us of target practice from her majesty,s services. Visibility at a distance was very poor today despite the stunning sunshine, and then out of no-where came Hms frigate, even with binocular,s we couldn't see her name of number it was that hazy. For a second we wondered whether we would be target practice but then she turned to starboard and wendered her way towards Plymouth.
True to form as we hit Rame Head a gentle swell Rose a few ft and the wind picked up enormously,Red Snapper surfed those waves, it was exhilarating to say the least and for the next few mile of so we dodged the spray as it came over the spray hood cover. As we got into the sound the gusts continued until just past the breakwater and then the waves subsided and the sea flattened out abit. Wind picked up until we were at the Marina and an anticipated difficult entry into our berth came to nothing.
Boat and crew washed down and now just chilling.....what a fab day

You certainly make it sound so appealing Berni!
