We untied at 9:36AM Saturday the 2nd of August and headed back down the Tamar River for 9 Kt Mile’s out into the channel. We set course for Fowey 50:20.05N 4:37.83W

 

Craig was keen as mustard and could not wait to get behind the helm after a quick breakfast of the Kellogg’s famous special K.

 

It was a long day with the wind on the nose the whole way, having to tack back and forth. We arrived into Fowey about 5PM, as we sailed past the cross on the rocks we reefed in a bit of sail not knowing what was round the corner in such a brisk wind but all was well as we arrived into another stunning harbor famous for its bone china. We moored up along side another boat. Planned our route for the morning made dinner and all went to bed.
