Eddystone to Tamar Yacht Club.
Up early and had a cuppa,still dark so got everything ready to get under way,set the Radar brilliance down low and also the plotter,plotted a course out of the anchorage.A few rocks about so you need to be sure you are going as planned.
The moon was bright but that does not help with the under water ones.
Moved out slowly ,a few of the other boats left a lot earlier as to their plan,a bit surprised some still there when we left.
Motored at 10 knots until daylight,could see some on the AIS,would have the pleasure of passing them later on.I have noticed the wives of the sail boats appreciate our speed more than their skippers as they take at least three times as long to make a Passage.Some are rocking around for up to 12 hours or more and it gets to them, one crew arrived at the Beauty Point Pub for dinner at dark last night ,they were obviously wrung out,what time did you get her a lady asked,11.30 I said.They had a nice yacht but had left at 4am,not her idea of fun,her other lady friend did not look much better,be careful mate,might have an abstainer on your hands.

Went straight to the PDYC fuel berth and filled up.worked the numbers,pleasantly surprised,408 miles from the club at 3.68 liters per mile.I had some Propspeed put on at last slipping,be interested to see if the good news continues for the rest of the trip.

Went down to theTYC and Ron guided us to our berth, the crew busy cleaning up and getting their gear off the boat,I always have trouble getting them to take their excess with them as the next crew always have lots of stuff also!
Tony,Chris and John arrived and Bruce,Ralph and Ron loaded up Tony’s car for the trip home,the Eskys were emptied and loaded again with their fish for the trip home,a bit of chaos for a while.

I filled the water tanks and washed the boat off ,no room in the cabin.

Old crew departed in good time for the trip home ,I had a kip and the new crew had a quiet one in the cockpit,the weather quite pleasant now.

Walked up to the club as they had opened for bar meals and drinks.Probably six or seven boats here now so a pleasant mob there.Had a can but decided on a counter meal at the pub which was excellent.

Turned in about Ten.

We are going in the morning,as my  crews only get ten or twelve days on board we could not hang around for two days for the dinner,I don’t know if they are going to be two days behind for the rest of the cruise or what,have not asked,the weather for the next week looks good so we are off.
Did not take any photos so text only today.
