Mr Blue Sky relaxing en route to Plymouth
Even as we set off a destination had not been agreed, the Yealm certainly appealed to all but with the forecast uncertain, Plymouth would probably get the vote.
The passage out of Salcombe began with a strong breeze of BFT F3-4 NE, so we made good way on a broad reach. However the further we progressed across Bigbury Bay, the wind backed N and dropped F2-3.

Not all was well on Hendrix, they may have packed a little heavy and were suffering the consequences, the fat bottomed Oceanis was struggling to keep pace with lighter yachts that slipped past.
If you look really close you can just see Hendrix

The 20 mile passage behind us, time to take a look around.
Queen Anne Battery Marina
So Plymouth won the vote, we turned into The Sound and approached Queen Anne Battery, with the Ho and Barbican in the background. A Port we had visited earlier in the year, so our interest was more on the next stop, Fowey, than the historic naval city.
