Molia

Finally – it is already light!

In a fog!

A quick look into the Helford River, and then around the Lizard into Mounts Bay, and Newlyn.

What a great day’s sailing! Crab soup and catch-of-the-day in the Red Lion at Newlyn – superb.

Day 3 – Sunday, 9 August 2020

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.

A 7-day voyage bringing Molia back from Portland Marina to Portishead.

Sunrise to sunset.

Molia in Darthaven Marina. We went to the Steam Packet Inn for dinner – excellent pizzas (and Covid precautions handled well). We sat upstairs with a great view of the marina. Recommended!
