So after our traumas of Friday night it was a weary crew on sat am first thing.
Whilst still stiff the patient was much better and we had a good old rant over the events from just hrs earlier.
Lovely day outside so we headed for a swail and then the Yealm, there is nothing like the Yealm for some r n r and that was just what we needed.
We ripped along the sound with both sails up, cruising along at 6-7 knots. We headed into the river bang on the turn of the tide to avoid a mad rush on a barmy September day.
Good timing from das captain as we were able to pick up a mooring buoy and avoid the paddys market that is the pontoons, bang in the middle of the river basin it was a perfect spot to watch the world go by in the sun.
Confined to the boat, no boat to dingy transfers for us this weekend we spent a fabulous afternoon and evening putting the world to rights over good food and beer!
Yesterday we were greeted by dull skies and rougher seas on the way back but was softened by a breaching dolphin chasing mackerel at the entrance to the river on our way back.
Whilst blowy it was lovely so made the most of the great outdoors.
Back at the marina washing down the boat we were told of another pontoon incident....a man opposite my inlaws stood back to admire his boat before departing for home and fell in....thankfully no harm done. There must have been something in the air this weekend!
