We set off at 07:20, to proceed through the lock and out of the marina. This ended up being a race against time, as the lock keeper wanted to close the gates as part of flood prevention measures!
He urged us to use max speed - 5 knots! - to get through before the gates closed. All very exciting.
Once out of the marina we were enveloped by fog. As we could not return, the only option was to head for Cawsand bay and anchor.
The only consolation is that we have sausages in the oven.
Plymouth truly was an interesting place. The nightlife and people out on the town has to be seen to be believed! It is a wild place.
We experienced it at a little too close quarters. Three drunks sat on a bench trying to throw bread across the marina. Their aim was to hit the boat and attract seagulls - to do their worst! Not sure that I handled it very well and they did land a few on target but no damage was done.
Hopefully off to Falmouth later, if this fog ever lifts!
