Dartmouth to Salcombe

We had to get ourselves out of our bunks early as the boat on the inside of us on the pontoon wanted to be away by 07:00, as they had to cross the bar at Exmouth at HW.
Once we were up, there seemed little point in going back to bed. It was a beautiful morning, but again, very little wind. We had some difficulty working out the Navy bells system for the clocks from The Dartmouth Naval College.
After a sausage sandwich breakfast we got underway.
For a couple of hours we were able to sail, but all too soon the wind died away as the tide against us increased. We turned on the engine and motored into Salcombe and picked up one of the many visitors buoys.
After a light lunch onboard, we took the water taxi to the shore. We used the facilities in the Salcombe Yacht Club and had a good wander around the town.
Dinner in the Victoria Inn and then returned to Calviere Two.
