I had wanted to take Curious back into dartmouth on our return.

Both Trish and I have great memories of family holidays there as well as our stopover on our outward leg.

As we crossed the western approaches, the wind died, the sea flattened and we arrived at first light to a beautiful English summers day.

We were told one of the few up to that point this summer.

None of my shipments (Terje, Phil, Karen and Rob) had been to dartmouth before and all found the place enchanting.

The final run in to the town quay

Curious alongside on the town quay, a little over 4 years and 30,000nm since she sat at the same spot on the outward leg
