Zipadedoda of Dart

River Yealm to Mayflower Marina, Plymouth

We awoke to discover a beautiful still morning in the stunning River Yealm. Departed at 10.00 and were all moored up on pontoon A8 at 11.45. Motored all the way in brilliant sunshine and a gentle breeze.

Settled into the Marina. Really nice and helpful staff. Registered with the Rally and were given our flag, which now proudly flutters from our starboard spreaders.

Big party to look forward to on Friday night.
