Passing by the end of the river is a brand new 118m superyacht called Launchpad. It's on its inaugural voyage from the shipyard in the Netherlands where it was built to St Maarten in the Caribbean. Of course.

Unusual goings on over on the Higher Ferry slip at Britannia Halt. For a moment it looked like the council had got their rotas wrong. But turned out they were all photographers of the train enthusiast variety. The Kingswear Railway has spent two years refurbishing the Lydham Manor loco and this was one of its first outings.

Storm Nelson arrived with some unsettling winds. Well, they unsettled the car ferries. I noticed one of the Lower ferries seeming to have problems keeping a straight course - it soon headed for its own pontoon refuge. In the meantime the other tug and barge combination tried to deliver its load from Kingswear into Dartmouth. It took two attempts. The Higher Ferry was also moored up, but the crew of the passenger ferry carried on.

On Maunday Thursday few people ventured out on the water. And no wonder. The squalls were coming from the mouth of the river and many of the moored boats took a pounding. This is the dog-leg opposite Coronation Park where you might have thought things would be sheltered.

The gig crews were launching from the new double steps pontoon which created quite an atmosphere around the place. Not that the three seals on the next pontoon up seemed to care. (They are at the top of the pic over to the right on the grey patch.)

The Dartmouth Castle Ferry ride is frequently and rightly described as the best little ferry trip in Britain. Well, on Easter Saturday passengers got their money's worth and more. Some might have found it a bit overwhelming.

Dartmouth Gig Regatta on Saturday brought an enthusiastic crowd to the town. This is one race of many - the Men's super vets. The Dartmouth team held a narrow lead as they passed the first buoy in front of us.
