We sailed round to Salcombe from Dartmouth yesterday. We should have had an easy sail as the forecast was for NW or W winds. In the end it turned in to a beat the whole way with winds in the S or SW. However, it was sunny and the boat was going well so we did not mind.
We have to dry out to do some work on the boat so we are hoping to utilise one of the sandy beaches in the south end of the harbour tomorrow.
Salcombe is stunningly pretty, especially on sunny days such as the ones we are having. You can understand why there is so many boats based and visiting here. Last night we were anchored at the entrance to Frogmore Creek which was very quiet until the ICC dinghies appeared this morning taking a lot of young children on an introduction to sailing. There was so little wind and water traffic that I had a trouble free hour or so up the mast sorting out halyard blocks. Tonight we are anchored nearer the town (as we needed to go ashore this afternoon) which is a lot more busy.
