After a delightful two days in Dartmouth we sailed on to Plymouth, home to Gin since 1793 and start point of the epic voyage of the Pilgrim Fathers to the New World on the Mayflower in 1620. We visited the famous Plymouth Gin Distillery and saw the amazing National Fireworks Championships displayed at the waterfront and witnessed the first yachts finishing the Fastnet Race 2017. We left Plymouth, our westmost station, after a three days break for Salcombe which we reached after a nice 4 hours downwind sail in sunny weather. We arrived on time to see the fireworks of the Salcombe Town Regatta week, and the hilarious Crabber's Race, a traditional drag race of the local crabbing boats.
