Sailing to Fowey, 23-24th of July 2016 Another week, another sail.

On Sunday the way back was a bit wetter Read More
Witch’s log, August Tuesday the 18th, 2015. After a bit of varnishing we found ourselves ready to go and set off Plymouth towards Salcombe, 20+ miles eastwards. Had a glorious day, with sun, perfect wind and all you could wish for. Intending to return the next day we then found ourselves stranded by not being Read More
