This trip was a breeze! With our mizzen and Genoa the whole way, we got to practise some more out on the water on way to our next anchorage. The sunshine meant our DIY 800w solar was fully charged in no time! When we arrived we also took the opportunity to dinghy into the marina and check out their local pub- such good food, friendly staff and also an impromptu performance from a local with a bit of Billy Joel on the panio! What more could you ask! The next morning we took the dinghy again to the other dock, visited the cafe which had some lovely pastries, seating area and plenty of outdoor garden games for the kids (and adults!) the dinghy ride back to our anchorage just outside of the marinas were a first for us as the low tide meant we had to get out and carry the dinghy in some spots- so either prepare with water shoes or only plan at higher tides if you’re anchorage is outside. If you stay at the marinas docks you’ll be coming in via a different way with no troubles.
