Roger's last "Wings" trip






This was the last trip for Roger in his Kelsall cat Wings. Bought by Adrian who is the brother of the builder of Wings - so, I think its going to a good home in the River Avon (Bantham)
Left the Exe at midday - beam reach down to Start Point - untill the wind disapeared.





Motored the last coupe of miles into Salcombe in the dark - looks like Salcombe's sectored light might need a good clean.

Anchored in Millbay - where Roger produced a some lovely cous-cous and corma followed by a couple of glasses.

Mill bay is a perfect place to anchor just across the river from the Salcombe and the Yacht Club
After breakfast in Capt. Morgan's Cafe we left Salcombe passing Soar Mill Bay. Arrived at the Avon at an hour before high water - coming into the Avon can be a bit tricky if the weather is bad. Its strange to be passing surfers surfing 4/5ft surf 30 ft away. A good job done.
