Last year Vicki and l managed to get as far as Torquay for a few days, but we never got to visit Brixham. So after the night anchored off Torquay Harbour, l pulled up her anchor and motored her over to Brixham side of Torbay. Three local sailors had recommended Fishcombe Cove, they also said the moorings there were free because of eel grass but normally full.
Well going early at 0700hrs, l hoped to get there before the rush and when l arrived at 0800hrs l had the pick of them all.
What a lovely spot l thought 😀
The weather turned into a wonderful day and by 1300hrs l had to escape the heat into Elektra cabin with the odd half hour in the sun, l really love hot weather but far to hot for me today! It was 27C in the shade 😎
At 1330hrs Peter arrived just to say hi, it had been just over 2 months since l had last seen him in the Precuil River. He had told me of his plans to sail to the western isles in Scotland but he had to get back by July, l had thought at the time he would be lucky! But Peter had done exactly what he planned to do, and now in his home waters having logged 1750nm. He didn’t stop, took a couple of photos and went on his way back to his mooring which l used off Starcross Yacht Club.
Love Sailing
