South Devon Culinary Cruise - 16th August
Saturday 16th August will see the first Culinary Cruise head off along part of the South Devon Coast.
Meeting from 12:30 and departing at 13:00 from the Breakwater Fort in Plymouth, those assembled will head East towards Salcombe, sweeping the bays and enjoying the scenery.
Afternoon tea will be taken in Salcombe, no fixed venue, its what ever suits the crew on the day. There's great pasties from The Bake House, a regular Pasty Run venue (not this year though).
Fish and chips or pizza options are available along with crab sandwich's and a traditional high tea at the South Sands Hotel if that's the preferred choice along with a myriad of other options in the town.
We'll depart 90 minutes after landing and head further East, with Dartmouth being the next port of call.
The Dartmouth Yacht Club will be the next stop, tea and biscuits or a cold pint of choice will be available from their bar or crews will be able to head over to an ice cream stall of choice.
60 minutes after landing we'll again head East, aiming for the overnight stop in Torquay.
There's an MDL marina or the Town Quay to book a visitors mooring on for the evening for those that wish to enjoy a social evening ashore.
The Torbay Yacht Club will be available for food, drinks and social entertainment. They do allow dogs in the main bar and on the terrace. If need be we can book food or simply enjoy their bar menu.
Sleeping aboard or picking anything from an Air BNB to a 5* hotel there are plenty of options to choose from if you don't want the return leg the same day. A number of us have booked the Burlington Hotel.
Sunday morning will see a leisurely start with a coffee at Below Decks (time TBC) before heading back to Salcombe for tea and biscuits and then finally back into Plymouth late lunch time for a final cake stop at Weir Quay for those with any room left!!
