Saturday 5th August 2023
With a F9 in the forecast everybody was quite pleased to be staying in Falmouth, especially after the experience of the passage from Brixham to Plymouth!
The morning was spent cleaning, cooking and doing some sailing theory, as many of the crew were working towards their RYA Competent Crew certification.
We were extremely lucky that somebody who had sailed with OYT South before was serving on RFA Argus tied up at the docks and we were invited onboard for a tour of this 100 bed hospital ship.
RFA Argus from Falmouth Docks
The visit was extremely poignant as my late father served with the Royal Fleet Auxiliary and his first trip docked at Falmouth.
