An eventful start to the trip 

Having set off from our berth, within 30 metres we had reversed into a patch of weed, hiding a length of polypropylene rope,  which fouled the propeller 

 So..this morning we managed to get a lift out at Blagdons yard, found the offending article 
Eventually got away and have had a cracking sail to Dartmouth 

The weather not exactly summery

  1. That’s incredibly unlucky, Malcolm. Looks like the sort of rope that our cutters would not have been able to tackle.There but for the grace etc etc.

    • Hi Ken. I was anticipating damage to P bracket etc, last time it was a bill for 5k. But cutter did it’s job, just that the knot in the line snagged folding propeller half closed.
