BACK TO DARTMOUTH

 We're safely back in our home port after a brilliant couple of weeks aboard. In contrast to the light winds of the first part of the trip, we had cracking conditions to propel us back to Falmouth and then on to the Yealm and finally to Dartmouth.


There's a short video of the rolling spinnaker run from Scilly HERE

In Falmouth we managed to get a berth for a night in the excellent Port Pendennis marina for restocking, showers and a much needed laundry. The other side of our pontoon was populated by some huge yachts:


The J Class 'Hanuman', a replica of the British yacht Endeavour II, but with some very modern rig and deck gear.

As ever, the  ore modestly proportioned byt equally lovely Maunie looked after us very well in this voyage and the relaxed nature of the cruise gave us time to reorganise things on board. Storage lockers were systematically emptied, cleaned and their contents rationalised so we feel that she's ready for the next trip - in a couple of weeks.
