Our dingy and outboard engine got some exercise again today. We could see from the charts that, when the tide is in, it is possible to travel by river all of the way up to Truro. It is very shallow in places but our Avon dingy, with an 8 hp Yamaha engine, is quite capable of getting us there. We checked the tides and decided that if we left at 08:30 and started the return journey by 12:00 we should have enough water for the journey. We saw many different types of bird on the journey including the largest Grey Heron we have ever seen and some little Egrets. We were also able to visit Truro Cathedral. Sadly, the trip had to end with a visit to Tesco for supplies and to acquire a can of petrol for the return journey.
