Log
The team loaded the organic ale in Brixham inner harbour with Alan Collyer Exeter brewery owner lending a hand. Took 45 mins to load 3 tonnes of ale. Brixham harbour super helpful. 
Crew of 6 onboard small but strong, James Stewart freelance journalist also aboard writing an article for the Sunday Times travel supplement, writing about working holidays this time sailing cargo !
Light easterly breeze we set off out of harbour then sailed into sloppy easterly seas. Could not make any way south, easterly slop too powerful so sailed into Dartmouth for the night.
Next day sailed to Plymouth for anchorage waiting for westerly wind.
Maintenance day, lots of rain ! Music instruments out and singing, lots of food.
Towed in under sail a small day fishing boat who had run out of petrol just outside the Plymouth sound breakwater. Sailed him into Mayflower marina and back out onto anchor ….. Dolphin following us in too.
