Another video in the series I seem to be making around Plymouth Sound. 

This one is for the first half of my trip into the River Yealm which is just round the corner from Plymouth. 

During the day, the wind was up and down around the reefing limit and I had plenty of practice shaking one out and putting it back in.

The River Yealm has very strong tidal streams, both in and out, and should not in anyway be underestimated. In the past I have done so, and come a cropper, usually by not having enough speed through the wind to complete a tack, just when it's needed. Luckily, the only damage done, on these previous occasions, was to my own equipment.
