Plymouth to Fowey and back

"Ronar M" is the pride and joy of Trevor and Dorie Jones, and rightly so. She is a 38foot Nicholson ketch and we had the privilege of sailing with Trevor. We sailed from Plymouth to Fowey and back, a distance of about 87 nautical miles. The weather was mixed with not as much wind as we had hoped for with moderately choppy seas at times. However we did manage to get some great sailing in on the last day when Ronar M whistled back to Plymouth by a 28 knot wind which gave us a cruising speed of 9 knots. What a fantastic feeling. No wonder many mountaineers get the sailing bug!
