Last night in Brixham?

Returning to Brixham, we were given a berth next to the Westerly Riviera that was next on our list of boats to view. Had we not purchased our Hunter Legend 37.5. 
  The owners showed up this weekend and on chatting to them, got to go onboard and look inside. A tidy boat! Spacious inside with two helm positions,(one inside, one out) plenty of headroom, split level to bedrooms and big heads/shower rooms. I much prefer it to the Moody's we viewed. 
Anyone looking for a liveaboard yacht at a good price - would be worth a look. 
     The Riviera is regarded as a motor sailor and not a serious yacht, but I disagree. The windage looks no more than ours when you consider our large spray hood and the Rivieras small one.

We met a chap today ( Peter) who is planning a trip across Biscay. He's been before, so was a mine of information but is going ASAP. A pity we can't join him as we are still learning our boat and have spares to pick up in Falmouth. 
The weather is looking up for tomorrow, so all being well we will set out for Plymouth in the morning.
