We are sorry that we have not put any photos up here for a while. Here are a few to keep you going, and I'm sure more will follow.
This was the view entering into St Ives. Just after this was taken, we saw a seal (not unusual), but he was so close and the water so clear (meaning we could see his whole body swimming) that we were quite amazed!
Sailing around Land's End, having left at 3am. The sea was so calm, that we occupied ourselves by using our 'buffs' in as many ways as we could think of. This was the 'desert storm' look. Keep an eye open for the 'granny style' in other photos!
The morning sailing around Land's End was very beautiful. The rocks in the background are 'Longships' and because it was so calm, we were able to sail between them and the mainland. As Mary said 'this would have been a great photo if it wasn't for you being in it'- I know what she means!
We stopped for the night on the River Yealm, which, despite having a fairly tricky entrance, turned out to be a hidden beauty- definitely worth a visit either by boat or land.
Unfortunately, this is another photo of Becky- this time enjoying a roast dinner, expertly prepared on our two hobs! Roast chicken, potatoes, parsnips, stuffing and gravy- a veritable feast.
In keeping with the food theme (and to balance out the bad photos), here is Mary preparing one of the 6 mackerel we caught just east of Portland Bill. We have now enjoyed 'self-caught' fish fried for breakfast, and in a pasta bake.
Finally, this was the view as we left Portsmouth at 5am. The sunrise was spectacular, but as usual; 'red sky at night, sailors delight; red sky in the morning, sailors warning'. It took a long time for the sun to break through the clouds!

Fabulous photos! As a proud "buff" owner and wearer myself (when hill walking, not sailing) I would love to see you posing with the buffs in pirate style, surely a more fitting way to wear them in the circumstances?!!
Love, Andy
Awesome photos - even the ones with you guys in them! Thinking of you on the 'home run', it must feel so near and yet so far! Love Ruth x
Like Mary's Halo, unusual colour, should it be in orange?

Great pics looking very well and chilled out. Nicky.
