On his first day we had strong winds, a night sail and heavy showers. Add to that an initial bit of queasiness, the joy of trying to use the heads while at 45 degrees and a 14 hour day - it was certainly a tough initiation.
However after the sun came out and he found his sea legs, he started to enjoy himself (I hope!)
The highlight for me was passing Ladram Bay, which was where we spent many great family holidays. It is here that I found my love of boats and also learned to catch/gut mackerel.
We had a sunny final run into Torquay which looked very pretty. Not so this morning, strong winds and pouring rain are hiding it's charms. Maybe a sightseeing day!
The boat has certainly been tidier since Barry joined and he has made some great meals. I am not saying that he is the cleanest shipmate but he is the only person so far who has asked for a dustpan and brush
Not sure of our plans - I would like to get to Brixham today but only if the weather improves.
Just wait until Barry has re-arranged your food cupboards and beer stocks so that the labels face outwards!
