West Bay to Exmouth.

We were the only visiting boat in West Bay and we has the whole of the outer harbour to ourselves.
I'd calculated that we needed to leave at 10:30 to carry the best tide to Exmouth, but after John had cooked a tasty egg on toast breakfast, we left the berth at 09:40. Once out of the harbour we unfurled the genoa and settled into a long downwind sail. 18kt of NE wind meant that we didn't turn on the engine until we were approaching the bar at Exmouth.
The bar was exciting, even though we were on a rising tide, the depth sounder alarm was still complaining.
We topped up the fuel tank and moored in Exmouth Marina, where John cooked a minced beef & onion pie with baked beans.
