Fri/Sat 8/9 June First overnight stay on Fri night off of a little bay then
back to Teignmouth Sat AM. Pick up Julie and head for a picnic
Quite a good nights sleep for a first time. It was too warm in the cabin so I had to sleep with the doors open.
This is the bay I moored up in. Dead calm sea.
Shooting back to Teignmouth to pick up Julie
We took the tender with us behind the big boat. Found a beach with no one on it and motored in for lunch
We both decided that this is why we bought the boat.
Then after lunch Julie went to sea in the tender so we could get some photos of the boat in motion

The sea was a little too choppy to do cooking so we changed bays to Goodrington off of Quay West.

The Torquay Regatta week 08/08
All these photos were takes by Stephen. Well done mate, some great photos
As normal, the week starts off with a firework display on the Monday night. We had a great view from the boat.
Torquay was very lucky to have Earthrace in the Marina for the week. We went into the marina to have a look before the Red Arrows visit.
After the Red Arrows Earthrace left the marina so we chased her across the bay. A really great day was had by all.
