| Up river cruise - safety boat duty | 2021-09-04 | Safety boat duty for a very enjoyable up river dinghy cruise from SYC.
Thought there was a pretty good chance the wind would drop and we'd be towing lots of people home.
The wind mostly held so so good day out!

| Topsham paddling | 2022-07-21 | A paddle up river from SYC to the Goat Walk at Topsham.
No wind on the way up. A F3 sea breeze filled in about half way back necessitating a bit more paddling.

| Up river sail | 2016-10-22 | First time out on the Wayfarer for quite some time.
The wind didn't manage the promised F3 / F4 and we ran out of wind trying to get past Topsham.
A seal popped its head out the water about 10 yards away from us and watched us sail by the Turf. Liz would have taken a photo but was too preoccupied trying to retrieve the Double Decker she'd dropped down the centre board casing.
Pleasant sail/drift in the autumn sun.

| Up river paddle | 2023-01-30 | A fine day if a little breezy. Small tide so fairly easy paddling - especially on the way back which was wind and tide assisted.

| Summer Sail | 2016-07-30 | Went up river to about the Goat Walk and then back again. Liz did some helming for about the 3rd time in the 10 years we've been sailing on the Exe. Then some on water reefing practice and then back to SYC for the "Commodore's BBQ".

| First sail of the year | 2014-03-09 | A lovely breeze and some sun for the first dinghy sail of the year in the Wayfarer. Pottered round the club for a while to see if anything would break after the winter period without any sails. All fine - so headed up river. Bang! The port hand shroud parted company with the boat! A quick tack and then Liz repaired the problem (the circlip had come away from the pin holding the stay to the boat - luckily the pin was still hanging there). Lovely sail then back to the club.
