The following day was a rest day for most of the fleet, although Simon (and Mac) departed for Dartmouth in order to make the final arrangements for the rally.
The rest of us re-visited Ray at his gleaming facilities, did some shopping and generally relaxed. The sun was so hot I had to make up a temporary bimini cover to find some shade.
After lunch we caught the ferry across to Shaldon, a small village on the other side of the
harbour.
We walked around visiting various places that I had known since a child. Some were the same, others changed beyond recognition. We walked up to the Ness, through the Smugglers tunnel and out onto Ness beach, which provided a great view of our route for the following day.
Returning to the pontoon we had a BBQ and were joined by Mike Lloyd and Derek Wain, two local Drascombers, who were going to sail to the Dart rally on Friday.
