So here we are in Dittisham on the Dart River just up from Dartmouth where it is a lovely setting very quiet and glorious sunshine. We picked up a visitors buoy about 10 minutes rowing from the shore where there is a good pub but we are eating aborad tonight with my home made spag bol. Probably go for a drink later. I am currently enjoying a spanish style gin and tonice.
Yesterday we took the bus from Torquay to Paignton and had a very nice lunch in a place called the Harbour Inn where I had a very fresh plaice and Bill had a piece of haddock with chips the batter was fantastic. My plaice was with garlic butter and absolutely delicious.
Decided to look around the small harbour and I went to the Harbour Masters office and met a very helpful mand called Simon who gave us the low down of visitors. The harbour dries out completely at low water but there are a few moorings just outside that we could use and then row in. It may be one of our destinations on the way back as I'd love to try the rooftop restaurant called TJ's as the menu looked great and Simon gave it the thumbs up.
Bill is currently trying to feed the ducks with my stale loaf of bread but trying not to feed the seagulls who are very aggresive and horrible.
Looking forward to Salcombe tomorrow.
