The adventures of Yacht Flirtie

"Hi, we are sailing yacht Flirtie's crew, Bruce and Caroline. Welcome to our blog.

sleepless in Salcombe

Well, the forecast was the same as yesterday so we ventured back out to sea to find that there was actually very little wind so we motor sailed to Salcombe and took a buoy off the town instead of our normal one around in an area known as the 'Bag'.

What a night... we should have known better than to take a buoy off the town especially when it's a spring tide and the wind is coming from the South West. When you forget to consider the elements it can have a significant impact on the quality of your overnight sleep. Needless to say first thing the following morning we asked the harbour master if there was a buoy available in the 'Bag' and promptly moved. (Lesson No: 1)

Staying here for a few days as we want to re-visit Kingsbridge and do some walks along some of the coastal paths and possibly even spend a day on one of the beaches here.
