Day 53 - Final leg to Plymouth.

Plymouth, here we come!
Two anchored vessels glint in the morning sun outside Falmouth
Parents eagerly seeking food for the kids!
A bright sunny morning sees us leaving Falmouth on a glassy sea. The sun stays with us all the way enabling me to air some of the bedding that has become slightly damp during the last few days. We all enjoy the sun as we relax as we motor towards Plymouth with more sailing boats visible than I have seen for a long time.

A pretty old gaffer, searches for wind as we enter the Sound.
We arrive in Plymouth Sound just as the free flow into Sutton Harbour comes to and end and we prepare to lock in.

Soleis is refuelled and returned to her berth after having completed 2230 nautical miles largely done with the motor rather than under sail. However the weather has been generally extremely kind to us and I have enjoyed Scotland very much.

It would not have been possible without all my helpful crew members and I thank them all most sincerely. They have been excellent company and invaluable in crewing the boat.
