Dartmouth - Again

We have arrived in Dartmouth after a long beat down the Devon coast from Teignmouth. We had great intentions of making Fowey, some 40 miles further on, but a small announcement on the radio of a Force 8 in the Plymouth area, soon; changed our minds. It was very specific and not be ignored. Entry to Salcombe, which was our backup, across the bar in strong southerlies is not to be recommended and since we would have arrived at low tide this was not going to happen.

All said, we have a lovely sail from Teignmouth. Wind from the south west, and tidal flow to the north made the conditions challenging. Here is our track.

We are safely tied up in Darthaven Marina. A tour upriver to Dittisham to await the slack tide was needed to get into the berth easily. Dittisham has some very nice visitors moorings which we might use another time.
