27th - Plymouth to Fowey
A nice sunny day with a light easterly wind again -
So up went the spinnaker, just enough wind to keep her filling without any
effort driving us between 4 to 6 knots. Picture is our crewman 'George' doing
his bit.
28th Fowey to Yealm
A very peaceful night but clearly it rained alot.
Set sail for the Yealm in murky drizzle - believe it or not once again a dead
run the wind having swung to the West. The Bimini served as a great umbrella.
Hope in the future it will be against the sun.
I hope the head winds are not being saved for next
week.
Back to Plymouth tomorrrow for the final
preparations.
