It's a tale of two days, gusting winds on Friday and then variable I don't know quite what to do with myself of yesterday.
It was a slow crawl as we left the marina yesterday, every mad englishman, their dog and bot was out on the water. The wind was nothing as we tacked and gybed trying to find a meagre whiff.
Beyond the breakwater we eventually found some and had a cracking sail to the yealm leaving every other boat in our wake.
The yealm was packed to the rafters with everyone our enjoying the fair weather. We ended up rafting against some people we know from the marina and watched as lots of boats turned back again as there was no more room at the inn.
I expect Celler Bay at the river entrance is packed this morning as its the only place that you can anchor.
We paid a visit to Newton Ferrers last night as we haven't been this year.
It's a lovely hillside walk along the river to the pub. We haven't been as it had changed hands and really gone to the dogs, but on arrival it was jam packed and with new owners and a facelift inside.
What a difference, back to its old self again, my river yealm mussels were delicious and das captain enjoyed his ling fish and chips.
After a quick pint at the local yacht club we wendered our way home via a slight detour up the river to see the beautiful Kitley Estate. It was simply stunning in the last light of the day, these photos just don't do it justice.
