Salcombe Devon
A glorious afternoon in Salcombe, Devon. Boats bobbing, water lapping, sun shining and the sand pretty much doing what sand does. Oh, and the fishermen fishing.
Filmed Saturday 12th May 2012 on my consumer Panasonic SD60 camcorder with the aid of a GrolliaPod for the steady shots.

Salcombe is a popular resort town in the South Hams district of Devon, south west England. The town of Salcombe is close to the mouth of the Kingsbridge Estuary, mostly built on the steep west side of the estuary.
Salcombe lies within the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Salcombe extensive waterfront and the naturally sheltered harbour formed by the estuary gave rise to its success as a boat- and shipbuilding and sailing port and, in modern times, tourism especially in the form of pleasure sailing and yachting. Salcombe is also home to a traditional shellfish fishing industry. Salcombe is part of the electoral ward of Salcombe and Malborough.
Salcombe and Kingsbridge estuary lies between Bolt Head and Sharpitor on the west and Portlemouth Down on the east, and runs inland for some 8.6 kilometres, with numerous side channels. The estuary is actually a ria or drowned valley caused by rising sea levels rather than a true estuary: in total the estuary covers an area of 674ha of which 446 ha are inter-tidal. At high water the length of 'coast' within the ria is 48.6 km. Although there are no major water courses entering the estuary, its total catchment area is 6800 ha (or 68 km2). The estuary was designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest in February 1987 and is also a Local Nature Reserve. Furthermore, in 2014 the European Sea Ports Organisation awarded the harbour Eco-Port status.
Further into the estuary on the east side are a series of popular sandy beaches: Sunny Cove (nearest the bar), the large Mill Bay, Cable Cove (the landing point of a cross-channel cable), Small's Cove and Fisherman's Cove. Adjacent to Fisherman's Cove is a landing slip used by the ferry — open-topped clinker-built motorboats — from Salcombe directly across the estuary, communicating with the hamlet of East Portlemouth (and much used by tourists for access to the beaches).
Although Salcombe harbour hosts a small but active shell fishing fleet of approximately 20 boats (the largest of which is less than 20m in length) the harbour is primarily a recreational leisure port which accommodates approximately 1600 residential yachts and power vessels. Salcombe Yacht Club hosts the Salcombe Yacht Club Regatta every August, attracting up to 400 dinghies in 10 or more dinghy classes plus handicap fleets. The Salcombe Yawls take pride of place as they were all designed and built in Salcombe using traditional boatbuilding techniques.
The Salcombe Town Regatta and sailing regatta form a very popular and busy fortnight in Salcombe. The order in which they run switches each year and usually coincides with favourable tidal conditions for the various events. The Salcombe Town Regatta is the busiest week in the calendar year.
( Salcombe - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting the city of Salcombe . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Salcombe - UK

Dinghy Cruising Association Border Reivers' Meet 2019
These are a few video clips of the Border Reivers' Meet of the DCA in May of 2019. We started at the Excellent Kielder Water Sailing Club before crossing the border to sail on Loch Lomond from Sallochy Camp Site. As you can see we were blessed with great sunny weather if not with much wind.
I have sampled music from a range of you tube resources: The Wild Goose by the brilliant Kate Rusby, A hauntingly beautiful Dulcimer rendition of the Arran Boat Song by dholeton and the introduction to Farewell by the incredible Talisk. I don't own this music. I do love it and share it now so that it is more widely appreciated. In a similar way and within the spirit of youtube, I am happy for anyone to use the visual track of this film for their own purposes.

Dinghy cruising a Welsford 'navigator' in sunny Salcombe
Welcome to my channel about dinghy cruising a John Welsford designed 'navigator' standing lug sail yawl called Arwen. In this video, episode 2, we explore the lower reaches of the estuary.
Other videos on my channel cover my developing skills in dinghy cruising and maintaining a small open boat along the coastal waters and rivers of SW England. I post at least one video or blog post a fortnight. Follow Arwen's blog at arwensmeanderings.blogspot.com
If you enjoy everything to do with learning to sail small open boats and dinghy camping cruising along stunning scenery then come subscribe to our channel and blog. We look forward to hearing and sharing your comments, thoughts and tips.
