Exmouth to Falmouth

Delphine Holman joined ship at Exmouth and on 7 Oct 09 we made the short passage to Torquay where the water tanks were flushed and refilled. After another short sail in perfect conditions the following day we picked up a mooring at the Royal Western Yacht club Plymouth, conveniently on the water taxi route to the Mayflower steps. Two days later we set off for Falmouth in pretty testing conditions with 25 kts on the nose and short choppy seas. By the time we were off Fowey we had had enough and put in there for the night. The next day brought more lovely weather and after testing the cruising chute we made Falmouth late afternoon picking up a visitors buoy for the night-no run ashore as the water taxi stopped running at the beginning of he month.
