We arrived in Plymouth or more accurately Kingsand anchorage around 8.00 pm. Unfortunately it took us a while to set the anchor. Persistency paid off though with our fifth attempt being successful, the boats already there and anchored had an evenings entertainment watching us.
The trip down from Milford Haven was very good. The first 24 hours including through the night and past Lands End were made under sail. We travelled 235 miles over the 2 days with an average speed of 6.5 knots. Our quickest passage by a considerable margin. Check out the video on Day 40 to see what that looks like.
We encountered a number of different vessels including a very strange working boat. The Seajacks Leviathan shown below, was travelling at 8 knots out of Falmouth and was a very strange thing to see coming at you.
We also had another 4 dolphin escorts, with groups of various numbers and sizes. A family group of 3 including an infant and a large group of at least eleven who stayed with us for around an hour. Never tire of watching them have fun on the bow wave.
