Sunshine sailing

Since returning from France we've had a couple of trips aboard, enjoying the warm sunshine. There's been the slight downside of a general lack of wind but we've managed to make the best of the conditions and last week enjoyed a lovely sail down to the Yealm, near Plymouth.

More trips planned over the rest of the summer!
