Plymouth solo

Arrived in Plymouth in sunshine after wet start in Dartmouth. Sailed until around Start Point and then turned into the wind. Struggled tacking until in line with Salcombe before giving up and turning the engine on. Was greeted in Mayflower by a staff member to take the lines into a nice easy berth. A couple of things to fix - the new autopilot whose rudder arm has been dislodged by Dave's work in the aft locker, the battery monitor tripping out the shore power and replacing the gas alarm control panel. People arranged to fix all three, also to check and service the steering as wasn't done over the winter. Here for at least a week and then we shall see!
