Air raid sirens and storms | The realities of being continuous cruisers #3

After strong easterly winds keep us Dartmouth longer than planned we finally set sail again and enjoy a fast sail on our way to Plymouth.

We spend a night at anchor on the way, sail off anchor and then head up the river Tamar. We watch the Navy do some fast boat driving and shelter from a storm opposite some submarines when all of a sudden an air attack warning causes us to think the world may be about to end! We spend a couple of nights in a marina thinking it would provide somewhere safe and peaceful to wait for weather to pass so we can head to the Isles of Scilly and but quickly realise that some marinas can be much more rolly and uncomfortable than an anchorage. We finally set off for Scilly only to turn back after the coastguard puts out an unforecast severe gale warning! Eventually after several long grey testing weeks our luck changes and we set off along the coast for Scilly.
