We've just returned from a really lovely 3-day cruise down to the River Yealm and then up the Taymar from Plymouth to anchor in the St German's River, close to the Navy's Juniper Point seamanship training centre.
The boat went really well, with her clean bottom and without the extra drag of Winnie's rudder - her turning circle under power is dramatically tighter too, so much so that Di nearly fell overboard during a swift change of direction!
We were able to enjoy the peace of a sheltered anchorage and some great sailing home to Dartmouth, with some time to reorganise food stowage in the galley and give the cockpit a good clean and polish. All ready for the main trip to Ireland in a couple of weeks!
are you off yet??
