Made it to Torpoint

Well, we had a very successful if cold weekend and Sarah G is now swinging to her mooring at Torpoint. We had a very pleasant sail from Dartmouth the the wind in the NE which accounted for the cold but did make for an initial run then a broad to close reach after the Start.

The journey home was a bit of an epic taking ten and a half hours. We had left the car in Dartmouth so had to get the train back. There are, by the way, no buses from Totnes to Dartmouth on a Sunday so we went on to Newton Abbot and changed for Paignton. Of course, none of the trains meshed and we had a 50 minute wait at Newton Abbot. Still, we did get the steam train from Paignton to Kingswear which was enjoyable.

Now, the big thing to plan for is the qualifying passage with my Brother which we are planning on doing from the weekend of 30 May. I also really want to get the Aries working by then so will have to see what we can do about that.

We didn't take a lot of photos and I am a bit behind in the the narrative of the delivery trip from Chichester so will have to buckle down this weekend.
