    Torquay via Bridport

    April 29, 2021 in England ⋅ ☀️ 10 °C

    Having done our research last night we have decided to head through the inner passage round Portland Bill. A first for us, as normally we are at least 5 miles off shore. As we have decided to pop into West Bay, the home of fresh fish and chips, for supper we have decided to hug the coast. Most of the passage is only 200 meters of shore so need to keep our eyes open for lobster pots and rocks!
    On arrival we stick our nose into the harbour and the small pontoon for yachts is just to small for Fino! The alternative is alongside the wall with 4m ladders to climb with Orla! Dont think that will work so decision made to head to the English Riviera and pop into Torquay for a couple of nights. Have boat will travel. Good time to catch up with the knitting whilst Orla sleeps through the journey.
    Torquay by 4.30 just as the weather was closing in but time for a quick wash of the boat and walk to the beach to stretch our legs - seaweed dinner for Orla before settling in for a quiet night.
