Hey Hoe

14-21Sep13

The weather began to brighten as we left Fowey with a destination of Plymouth and Mayflower Marina. Throughout, the wind was a little unpredictable in strength and the sails were up and down again on numerous occasions. Rounding Penlee Point a mass exodus as high water approached; dozens of local sailboats were heading out for the weekend making our entrance similar to a slalom event as we motored directly into the wind constantly ceding our route to the approaching stand-on vessels. The Hoe looked glorious in the sunshine and the breakwater protecting Plymouth was soon behind us as we passed behind Drake's Island up to Mayflower where we would be based for a week.
