I sat on the bow watching the world go by, in absolute bot heaven. I decided to text the in-laws so see if they were joining us out on the water when we hit Plymouth to get a phone call straight back to say it was thick fog there and zero visibility! Then on the VHF came the coastguard saying at Start Point visibility had dropped to less than 50 metres.
Hmmmmmm, not what we were expecting so you just plan, plan, plan and get on with it. Lifejackets and lines on, frog horn out to the ready we then could see what was heading our way and it looked ominous!
It wasn't long and we were engulfed by it, visibility very poor and spooky. We motored along for about 30 mins and then as quick as it came, it went.....spooky. Das captain is heralding its quick removal timed with the one and only test of the foghorn! Relief all round as we didn't fancy an entrance into the sound and berth in full thickness fog.
It was then just glorious, Rame Head fabulous coming out of the fog and a great trip home. We saw our first sunfish this year flapping about on the surface enjoying the renewed sunshine plus a dolphin breaching in the distance. Great weekend all round, dirty bottom cleaned and more importantly out on the water doing what we both love.
