Our holiday with Tim and Linda.
Tim and Linda joined us. This was good.
We set off for Salcombe (The Bag). The wind and the tide ganged up against the five of us so we motored the last 2 hours. Doris didn't mind.
We saw dolphins (or possibly porpoises). This was very good.
I tested next month's entry for PBO's "most worthwhile project competition". This clever device not only holds essential refreshments, but also indicates whether of not the boat is properly level or "on its ear".

The Bag was quite crowded. We rafted next to a boat whose owner said he didn't mind us rafting, but he did have to be off at 0800 or possibly 0730 or possibly his neighbour did. Doris wasn't bothered.

We set off at 0730 and motored to the Yealm ("Yam"). Our neighbours were not up when we left.
We didn't see any dolphins but the Yealm was nice and we had a good walk. The flubber didn't sink.
5th July 2017
We motored to the Fowey ("Foy").
It was hot and sunny, but there were no dolphins.
Fish and Chips at the Yacht Club. Very nice.
6th July 2017
We sailed (mainly) to Cawsand Bay (just outside Plymouth ("Plymouth").

We didn't see any dolphins despite tempting them with fine music.
We anchored and discussed (amongst other things) the difference between a Yawl and a Ketch.
We went swimming. It was lovely and warm.
It is of course the bobstay that pulls the bowsprit down.
We like Cawsand Bay.

To Dartmouth. Unusually, there were no dolphins today.
Thanks to all for a very nice trip.
