Give it chance Terry! It's only just June... though I heard on the grapevine that the jetstream is too far south again, which was the cause of the previous years' bad weather also, so you might be right... but give it a chance!

Have you left the Yealm now?

Rob as in 70 year old, retired liveaboard Rob?

He's sailing there?!

What a legend!

Evening in the Borington sounds good!! PYH definitely has its good points! I'm missing the whole Sound generally. So many options for all conditions. Especially Cawsand.

Nice one.

If the weather gets better and I can convince myself I've sorted this air problem in the fuel - we'll probs make a Salcombe trip at some point. And if that goes smoothly, who knows...

Steep if you get stuck there for a week! Maybe OK for a one nighter tho, enroute to Falmouth etc.
