Kestrel's seem too be regular flypasts. This one hovered low enough for me to examine its claws.

And what speed is ramming speed? There's no real aggression involved of course. It's the Winter Series Regatta with teams from Teign, Salcombe, Brixham, Paignton, Yealm, and Dartmouth taking part.

What are we looking at here ? Not the Higher Ferry, nor the train, not even that yacht in the foregorund. It's the loo. Guide price £25,000 at auction in September, it actually sold for £141,000. Somebody needed to spend a few pennies.

The public loo along Bridge Road in Kingswear has been closed for a few years and now it has sold at auction. Don't expect it to reopen.

Four weeks earlier, in February, sunrise had not yet reached the Daymark. And it was over an hour later.

Ribeye test their new boats most weeks. These two are both marked as tenders to a boat called Alnanha of Georgetown.

Except....there is no boat listed on Marinetraffic of that name, or listed anywhere for that matter. Seems likely these two are destined for an as yet unnamed vessel currently still at the makers.

I always like to try and ghet the sun rising behind the Daymark but this year, this is the closest I got. Cloud ruined most days. Or I was away. No real excuse.

And it's the extreme high and low tides that dictate when the Higher Ferry will have its bottom examined. No NHS wait list for it.
