I motored down the Dart on tuesday 1st April, and then motored all the way from Dartmouth to Weir Quay (up the Tamar from Plymouth) on wednesday 2nd April. It was my first ever trip in my own boat. My second ever trip in any yacht of any kind and, for me, was a fantastic and somewhat scary experience!
We headed into the wind, with the tide, for all of the approx 30 nautical mile sea leg of the voyage - so with ~3m swell, plus wind over tide conditions, it was thrilling for a total newbie - but Genesis took it totally in her stride.
Very chuffed
