Sailing up the river Lynher

'Mudlarking at midnight?' Part One In this video, part one of three about an overnight cruise up the river Lynher, we cruise Plymouth Sound in light winds, before making passage up the river Tamar to Henn Point, which is just below the Saltash road and rail bridges. We navigate the 'Bridges' on the west side of Drakes Island, pop into the Millbrook mudbanks area to try and find dolphin and negotiate the Tamar ferries crossing before picking up a mooring at Henn Point. You can find out lots more about Arwen, a John Welsford designed 'navigator' day sailing and cruising dinghy by visiting her blog at www.arwensmeanderings.blogspot.co.uk Use the search bar to find posts on everything to do with dinghy cruising, from building galley boxes, to safety gear carried on board, sleeping arrangements and passage logs about our microadventures along the SW Devon/Cornwall coasts and their rivers. The blog has been going for fourteen years now. Our YouTube channel is conveniently arranged into playlists covering topics such as west country rivers, maintenance projects and more. Primarily a visual diary for my future '80 year old self', it also promotes dinghy cruising around the Plymouth Sound Marine National Park area. We proudly fly the burgees of the Dinghy Cruising Association and the Small Traditional Sailing Boats group - both of which can be found on Facebook. We look forward to you joining us on our cruising adventures and we welcome any constructive, positive comments and tips. Arwen's skipper is primarily a self taught sailor and both he and Arwen think we can all agree she deserves someone with much better intuitive sailing ability, skills and knowledge, to do justice to her incredible design and sea worth properties. Take care now and fair winds to you all. Steve and Arwen
