People getting ready for a dinghy race at one of the slipways
I think these are 'Merlin' dinghies
All pointing head to wind
They appear to be light and probably quite fast I should think
As I walked around to the office, I came across this brace of beauties
One of the lovely little boat building sheds that back onto the creek
Not 100% sure but I think this is one of the Salcombe yawls
Hope he has that securely tied off somewhere
Arrived along the town front just in time to see one of the Merlins tacking up the small creek
He was pretty content just to watch the world drift by
Locals plied back and forth.....moving the myriad of hire inflatables.....
......that congregate like an impenetrable grey pathway behind the Whitestrand Pontoon
The South Sands ferry comes and goes on the top of the tide..........
........watched over by the might of the Salcombe RNLI lifeboat.............
..whilst at the moorings..all the little boats just bobbed about on the tide!
