Salcombe Pea Soup

The only dish on the menu from Salcombe. .. Pea Soup. No pictures cos nothing to see. Visibility mostly less than 50m so threw in the Bridport towel for today. Camped up in Dartmouth next to French Sea-Punks (thats a high compliment if you didnt know) on the lugger "Rose of Argyll" which goes places only by sail and oar. The skipper carried 4 passengers in a small dinghy showing remarkable sculling skill (wiggling a paddle strapped to the rear end of the dinghy). The advantage of a transom sculling oar is it does not use up the space of a pair of oars, hence 5 people can get across the river in a dinghy, then a natural break done the old fashioned sailor's wayin poshville or poshvoile if you prefer.

Then there is the biggest yacht ever i swear the mast top was lost in the cloud. The mast has 3 shroud spreaders and Chay Blythes 1970's round the world racer "British Steel's" mast does not even get as high as the lower spreader
