We had a lovely day which started with a trip on the Cawsand Ferry. We walked from Cawsand around the coastline to Mt Edgecumbe Country Park and then caught the Cremyll ferry back to Stonehouse Creek before walking around past Millbay Docks and up onto the Hoe where a classic bus rally was taking place.
A really nice day

It started with a coffee at one of our favourite cafes
followed by a stroll down the bridge to the ferry pontoon
where the little Cawsand ferry was coming alongside
there was time to admire the newly refurbished Mayflower Steps from which the Pilgrim Fathers set sail
and watch the boats coming through the lock gates from Sutton Harbour
our local fire boat came alongside as well
then it was across the sound to Cawsand beach and that funny fog bank
one of my favourite anchorages

Great place, we anchored off Cawsand and round the other side in Barn Pool for more than a week once, catching the ferry across to mayflower marina to get into town, it was so nice we just couldn't think of anywhere better to go
The Cawsand ferry just drops passengers off on the beach?? That's so cool!
Yep! Sometimes I have to shake myself to remind me of how lucky I am to live in such a spectacular area.
The Ferryman is a great guy, friendly, exceptionally knowledgeable. His day didn't start well with a blocked water pump and the fog but it must have got better at some point!

See, now that would never work over here. Some idiot would step in the water, hire a lawyer and sue the ferry because they ruined his $200 shoes.
*sigh* I really love the U.K. You're a country of Real People, not lunatics.
Ah now some would say it is our lunacy which makes us so...ahem.....'quirky'!
we are a nation of adventurous madcapped bods I must admit! who else will sit out on rainswept beaches and call it a holiday?
