We had been hearing that the river and sea were ‘so warm’ you didn’t need a wetsuit. The owner here knows the truth.

Junior sailors head off for a lesson. Or a good old shout as it might more accurately be called. It’s lovely because luckily excitement is contagious.

In September Dartmouth’s RNLI station is getting a B Class boat on trial. This is a similar craft arriving to help teach the helms.
It’s bigger. It’s faster. But more importantly it can go out further in more severe weather. So it’ll be busier.

Here’s the Dart Gig Club crew bringing back ‘Smudger (the gig itself) after the club’s big charity row to Guernsey.
It was almost dark when they hove into view. Full credit to the support crew who accompanied them out and back.
