After an excellent day out from Fowey to Goran Haven ewith Jan and Rob, (they got the best weather in August so far) we left Fowey to start back East in ernest, stopping at some of the places we missed on the way out.
It was a very grey and wet day on Monday but we had a good wind behind us and made good speed in the company of quite a few other yachts for most of the trip. We were the only ones who attempted the entrance to the River Yealm however, but the notorious was fine in these conditions, and we found a mooring quite easily in the usually packed river.
We stayed two nights in the Yealm and finaly the mist lifted and we got to see the beautiful suroundings in the sun. The locals also got good conditions for the beer race-a team rowing and drinking race between the three pubs of Newton Ferris and Noss Mayo.
Today started with very fine conditions but has now clouded over a little as we approach Bolt Head. We are heading for Dartmouth, or that area.--
