Newton Creek, tributary to River Yealm

Caroline, Sarah Jane and I set out from Plymouth late afternoon. We forgot to fill water, so we will have to ration now! First idea was to head West anchoring at Looe Island or Fowey River. However, we turned as we were in late conditions upwind and darkness was soon to fall. The decsion was to hoist the Asymmetric and head for River Yealm instead. Also that a bit of a race as the tide was ebbing and we didn't want to pass the bar after 6.30pm.

We had a splendid sunset as we motored up the river. We took Princess Ransom up towards Moss Nayo, but got stuck in the mud as it was too low water. Caroline had to row as too little water for the engine. We're required to change plans again and headed for the dinghy pontoon on the Newton Ferrar's side. Dinner at the Dolphin Inn before returning to the beautiful Queen's Ransom glowing with her anchor light in the dark river.
