Sailing for Dads Birthday

For my dad's birthday i booked a small yacht at Dittisham and me, Mum, Dad, Buster and Andy got up early and drove over. We started off with a safety brief to explain about the boat we were using afew safety aspects, etc.

Mum and Dad had owned boats for years before me and my brother were born and Andy used to teach at a sailing school so i was in safe hands.


We started off by heading down to Dartmouth, where we had a quick stop and got some coffee's and hot chocolates to warm us up a little.


We then headed back up the river, we stopped at Dittisham again for a spot of lunch.


After lunch we then headed up further to Stoke Gabriel, we did a bit of tacking up the river and moored up at Stoke Gabriel where we stopped again for another hot chocolate.


Then we cruised back to Dittisham and returned the boat all in all a good day, though i did end up pretty soggy by the end of it, Thanks Andy!!
