I pulled up the anchor at 0830hrs and Vicki motored Elektra back down River towards the sea, while l cleaned the anchor which had pulled up a lot of weed. By the time l got back to the cockpit Elektra was south as far as the Bag Pontoon. I took over the helm until we were turning west out of Salcombe around Bolt Head. From Bolt Head we started to sail, slowly at first but Elektra picked up speed to 5-6kts as far as Bolt Tail then slower again. The wind died away to almost nothing and we started motoring at 1115hrs having logged 12.5nm. Motoring on l rolled away the genoa and lowered and packed the main. We were moored to the top Pontoon in the Yealm River at 1230 having logged 18.5nm.
Love Sailing
