Weymouth to Dartmouth

The wind finally died down, but not before it had deposited half of Weymouth beach all over Rowena, of course this gave Paul a good excuse to CLEAN, the brushes came out, the dusters, hosepipe and everything had a good scrub, I took Tizzy and Sammy out of the way before he started on them. We set off at about 1pm past Portland Bill, which we could hardly see for the mist then onto Torquay. Lyme Bay was the calmest we had ever known, how strange after a force 9! We moored up in Torquay on the town quay, only us there, no water or electric but thats no problem to us, water always kept topped up by the skipper. It was so quiet after Weymouth, no fenders squeaking, no wind whistling, no fishing boats zooming past, it was bliss.
But all good things come to an end and we set off about 4pm for Dartmouth, on the way, we had to polish all the fenders as they were covered in dust, rain marks and paint from out stay in Weymouth, they certainly took some hammering. So we arrived in Dartmouth shining like a new pin! Even Paul was happy!

We are moored up on the town quay, in the most expensive berth that Dart Harbour has! Off to walk to Dittisham in a minute. We are here until at least Sunday, more wind forecast.
