| Salcombe to the Exe | 2018-04-22 | A great sail back from Salcombe to the Exe.
Left the mooring in Salcombe and said goodbye to Simon T and Andy B leaving them to their Round Britain sail.
Out over Salcombe Bar in thick fog. Experimented a bit further with the now fully working radar in Derek H's Fulmar and then headed off for the inshore passage around Start Point. Like the day before, wind was with tide so Start Point was fine and the fog mostly lifted as we reached Start Point.
Then along past Berry head and into Torbay for some "man overboard" practise.Think I proved that I'd be able to get back to pick Derek up if he went overboard but without the practise I'd have probably run him over!
Then up to the Exe waiting for the tide to change to allow a safe return to the mooring.
Excellent weekend all round.

| Old Man Of Hoy | 2026-05-13 | A splendid walk from the rather splendid Rackwick to the rather superb Old Man of Hoy.
The cliff next to the Old Man was rather scary so I went nowhere near it. I liked our guide book's suggestion that "For walkers wanting a less nerve-shredding but equally unimpeded view [walk] 200 yards towards St John's Head, where the cliffs are a little less, well, edgy". So we did.
