Bright afternoon with a little bit of NW breeze . Lovely conditions out in the Sound. Unexplained engine overheat meant an unscheduled stop at Mayflower Marina. Coolant topped-up and engine fine back to Plymouth Boatyard at Laira

Another fantastic day at Plymouth. Light breeze from SE clear blue sky, record-breaking sunshine. Interesting visitors anchored in the Sound.

Barbican to Milbay Marina and tour of Plymouth ALB. Return to Laira via the Barbican to drop-off fellow Plymouth Pilot owners

Beautiful conditions in Plymouth Sound. Watched Waverley depart , and then cruise in company with Static (electric PP) to breakwater fort.

Out beyond Plymouth breakwater to have a look at HMS Queen Elizabeth. Not allowed too close courtesy of MOD police! Cool northerly 3 to 4, giving a bit of a chop the further out you went.

Beautiful sunshine and light wind from the south, making conditions in the Sound ideal for a leisurely trip.

Warm autumn day, light wind and bright sunshine. Cruise liner Artania anchored in the Sound with her shuttle boats cross-crossing to the Barbican landing. RRS Sir David Attenborough alongside at Devonport dockyard taking-on additional supplies for the British Antarctic Survey

Glorious September weather; calm sea. But the fish weren’t biting!
