Sailing Pilgrim, Plymouth Firework Championship - August 2018

After a long drive from Charlestown (including being stuck behind a bin lorry and struggling with car park app - stressed to the max!) we joined Pilgrim in Dartmouth, greeted by Skipper Brendan, First Mate Julie and crew Lynda and Neil. After a cup of tea and the safety briefing we moved to the fuel barge, Brendan slipped while refuelling and snapped the nozzle off the fuel hose, which now lives in Pilgrims fuel tank! We headed out of the river and headed West. Brendan took us out in the dinghy while we were underway to get a good look at the ship - she's gorgeous. Our first stop was Salcombe, where we picked up a mooring buoy and settled in for the night.
