It's in the air, you can feel it. Waking up to thick pea soup and dewey decks, the slower burn of the day for the air to clear....yep Autumn is on its way.
We have had though 2 glorious sunsets over the last 2 nights which have been simply stunning. The marina is very very quiet, lots of bots already have been lifted out, JJ,s was unusually quiet for a Friday night when we went there for supper after a long slog at work last week. We are pontificating keeping her in longer than the original plan for lift out at the end of October. Christmas day aboard RedSnapper maybe for us this year...we,ll see.
So after the pea soup lifted out we went and had a cracking sail towards the Eddystone Lighthouse and back.
We passed Mairadon, out beyond the breakwater for the first time and growing in confidence. She looks fab on the water under sail and our mission is to get them and the inlaws to at least the River Yealm before the season is out!
We had the added bonus of two separate sightings of single dolphins, foraging for food, das captain heard the blow and there they were. We had the GoPro set up so are hoping they were captured on video for viewing later.
On the way back we dropped the pick at Cawsands but our stop was called short as a huge fog bank started to roll in so up and back we came. Not to worry a cracking day out on the water and they will be few and far between over the coming days and months.
On the family front ELG survived the week and high school for the first time and the grandparents survived seeing her off...photo below....hilarious!
Most importantly its my Ma,s birthday today, we celebrated earlier in the week. Happy Birthday Ma, have a swooper day with Pops...love you more than words can say x
