We woke up to yet another gorgeous day in the Yealm and it wasn't long before we slipped the lines and were away.
We were greeted by quite a swell as we left the entrance and headed out to sea, but it was still a stunning day.
Our new headsail has been delayed by a week so we,ve put the number 3 on at the front until we pick her up. It was time to let her come out to play.
We zipped along with just her up and no mainsail....Solent sailing today said das captain as we whizzed along at 7.5 knots! It was fabulous, she went like a dream and we were back to Plymouth in no time at all.
The sound was full of racing boats on our return some faring better than others as they struggled with the strong gusts, I love seeing the display of colourful spinnakers dotted across the place.
Back at the Marina, it's all about Princess Yachts, the pontoons are awash with them. It's jam packed, we,ve never seen so many of them being commissioned to go off to their new owners.
Anyone would think that we were in a recession!
