Dartmouth - Bank Holiday weekend
We are off to Dartmouth for the Bank Holiday weekend. Hopefully the weather will be good. We have booked accomodation in a local B & B for 2 nights and plan to cruise around the area.

Any tips from local ribnetters will be most welcomed

Either,
not as far as I am aware,
or,
as I havent worked for 20 years I have completely forgotten when Bank Holidays are.
You can take your pick, but thank you very much for telling me it is 23-25 August.

..........and life here is fine. Especially now it is basking shark time around the island.

Lots to do in Dartmouth over Bank holiday & start of regatta.

Where are you thinking of launching / recovery - parking is a nightmare in this week?

I would suggest cuising upriver, but if you're 9m this may be tricky!

Brixham, Paignton & Torquay are a short step away as are Teignmouth & Shaldon if the tide is right. There are some good local coves & beaches - pm me for some details I don't want everyone knowing my favourites!

I'll be around all bank holiday & regatta week so if you see a 4m eyeing you up with envy you'll know who it is!

The Dart is a great river you'll enjoy it
