Instow Sands


Vagrant has been playing on the beach off Instow since Friday. We left Dale at 2200 on Thursday so we could be at Bideford Bar two hours before high water - after HW would have been dangerous

We came here to see meet our friend Stu and his daughters. We had a good boat and beach day yesterday, then Sara and I went out for dinner, walking to and from the boat.

In each tide we're afloat for about 4 hours and on the beach for about 4 hours. This has allowed us to take our bikes to the supermarket, and do some boat maintenance (grease the propeller, having first figured out how to prime a grease gun). We've also realised that we really need to get some more bottom paint on. We're down to bare epoxy in a few places and being sand blasted twice a day isn't helping.

  1. Brilliant photo - you need a map on the home page so that I don't have to keep looking you up n marine traffic :)

    1. We encourage such snooping. But I'll see whether I can figure out a tracking widget.
