Plymouth to Mylor – Day 3
Dartmouth to Plymouth – Day 2
Day 2 – Saturday, 8 August 2020
There was a bit of wind off Dartmouth, then it was calm and we motored across Start Bay. After rounding Start Point the wind improved and we sailed most of the rest of the way into Plymouth.
We stayed at the Plymouth Yacht Haven marina. A very sheltered mooring and good marina facilities; but there is not much in the neighbourhood. We walked over the hill into Turnchapel to get supplies and a Chinese take-away (which was fine) – but it is a bit of a run-down area.
