27th June
Just arrived in Brixham. A short but tricky trip from River Yealm.The fog and mist restricted visibility to 30 yards at times. At last the Radar has paid its way giving us a great view of shipping trafic on the screen. The fog horn was in good voice. I coukd easily hear it and im deaf.
Our little trip is quickly coming to an end with only 4 days left. Its been a superb adventure and everyone have played their part. It must be some kind of a record for 5 people to live in a confined area for 4 weeks and all come out in one piece.
Looking at the weather it looks as if it will have the final say with another gale brewing up. Thats one a week so far. And june is not supposed to have any gales. Thats the english climate for you.
regards
brian, pam, dave, andy and frank

Hi all
Arrived in the river yealm after a journey of some 26 hours. This is a lovely spot in a river estuary near Newton Ferrars. Tricky entrance over a sand bar and difficult navigation up the river to the moorings. Good job it was on a rising tide as we wandered off a bit trying to avoid all the boats. For the journey i was elected as a floating crew member and the others paired up to share shifts. After 24 hours of  clawing their fingers off the helm i did manage to get a go! Then it starting tipping it down. No one was ready to replace me now.
Tryed a bit of fishing in the dinghy but again no sign of a bite.So we remain fishless for the trip.
Time running out for our little trip .
Next stop Brixham.
best regards
