Wednesday 3rd July
First rest day, I spent looking at the channel at low water and seeing the best places to anchor, I also booked a table at the Sloop Inn for an evening meal
The River Avon has a level sandy bottom with good holding, is fast flowing up to 4kts, the ebb runs for about 7.5hrs and the flood for about 4.5hrs
Its a good place to get away from the office, no phone signal on the river but once up in the village of Bantham you can get a signal if you want.
