We spend all that time in Portugal, Spain and France and the weather was not being very nice to us, then as we enter the English Channel the sun comes out and we're spending out last days on the boat in glorious weather! As Lee scrabbles to complete his sextant readings we approach the River Dart and head into Dartmouth, one of the most beautiful entrances to a port I've yet to experience. Poetic. ]]> http://www.followtheboat.com/2004/05/09/river-dart-welcomes-us-with-open-arms/feed/ 0 http://www.followtheboat.com/2004/04/28/an-interesting-trip-from-portugal-to-uk/ http://www.followtheboat.com/2004/04/28/an-interesting-trip-from-portugal-to-uk/#comments Wed, 28 Apr 2004 09:24:37 +0000 Jamie http://www.followtheboat.com/?p=595 This was Jamie's first delivery for Professional Yacht Deliveries World Wide, a UK-based yacht delivery company. It provided Jamie with the opportunity to sail with an experienced skipper, Kevin Smith. As it turned out the first mate, Lee, was just as experienced and together they provided Jamie with a wealth of knowledge and learning. The journey from Lagos in the Algarve, Portugal, to Dartmouth in the UK, took just under two weeks. A few days were spent in Bayona due to bad weather. ]]> http://www.followtheboat.com/2004/04/28/an-interesting-trip-from-portugal-to-uk/feed/ 0
