Lyme Regis to Brixham. 8/7/10
We are on a bit of a roll and head out into the bay early to catch the tide. The mist has gone but the sea is like a mill pond with not a breath of wind!! The forecast is yet again wrong and we motor along. It's warm though so at least we can top up our suntan and catch up on sleep!! The Devon coastline is pretty with big red cliffs, inaccessible woodlands and pretty seaside towns and villages. We were passing places that we had both been to on holidays as kids so had a few trips down memory lane! The wind did get up a bit towards the end of the day and we got a good sail for the last hour or so. Just at the entrance to Brixham harbour I lost my cap overboard so we practiced a
man overboard routine to retrieve it in the path of oncoming fishing vessels - interesting! There is a pretty cove just at the entrance too so we decided to anchor. Got the rods out and soon had enough mackeral for 2 nights tea! Brixham is a busy fishing port full of 'beamers' a type of trawler that looks just like the Hatherleigh.
