Plymouth, and onwards to Salcombe

This morning we walked to Plymouth Hoe where we had coffee and scones and fed the birds with our crumbs. We identified the bowling club where Drake played (J) and then continued our walk into the town to get some more supplies. We departed the marina soon after lunch, bound for Salcombe. There was little wind so we didn’t hoist the sails, but the uncomfortable swell that we experienced yesterday was still with us today as we rolled our way along the attractive coastline. We passed Hope Cove where past holidays have been spent, and on into Salcombe where we berthed alongside the town quay pontoon. Woolcool, as represented by Keith, bought dinner out in the nearby restaurant for everyone! Thank you Keith! After dinner we visited the local yacht club for a final evening drink-  and familiarisation with facilities!

Joke:
Plymouth’s a right laugh! Hoe, hoe, hoe!

Coffee and scones! Yum yum!

Err!? Where Drake used to play?
