AC Nomad

We made a short sail to get to anchorage with better wind protection so we could enjoy the next couple of days. We picked up some weed so I had to brave the cold water to check we had lost it all. Had a good walk around the Island of St Agnus and enjoyed a nice pint in the Island's pub.

The wind gods did not smile on us for this passage as the wind was more westerly than we had hoped. This ment we had to motor from off Lands end to the Isle of Scilly. After a couple of rain showers the weather brightened. We could not find space in our first choice anchorage so ended up in St Mary's bay. We ventured ashore for a meal with the dinghy ride back to Nomad being a little tricky in the dark.

Another day without wind. We motored out of Salcombe and down to Newton Ferrers, mooring up on the visitors pontoon in time for lunch. After the traditional battle with the outboard, we went ashore for a walk around the village and a leisurely pint at The Dolphin Inn. Nice game of rummicubes with a G and T in evening.
