Mandalay - Day 2 - Salcombe to St. Mawes

Day 2 - Salcombe to St. Mawes

Mandalay

Robin & Jenny Martin

We are sitting at anchor in St. Mawes after supper at the Victory Inn. We gave the new No1 jib a go today, played with the AIS receiver, and got a little sunburnt!

Jen had her first effort at baking bread at sea; it tastes as good as it looks!

Our passage was from Salcombe to Falmouth, past the Eddystone lighthouse (~50 miles). Unfortunately our plan to stay the night at Falmouth backfired when the harbour master informed us that there was not a spare berth! So that explains our anchoring at St. Mawes!

We have a busy day tomorrow in Falmouth; stocking up for our long haul leg to Spain on Wednesday (where we need courtesy flags for Spain and Portugal!)
