In this start of the YRA Jr. Waterhouse offshore race we just barely squeezed ourselves into the start line at the boat end! It looks like Ventana was pinching just a bit, so I don't think we fully barged, but I also think they could have put us in a bad spot if they wanted to. Thankfully the Owner of Ventana is really nice! It's always good to race against friends 😅.
The Eden Project is an absolute must for anyone visiting Cornwall or Devon! Whether you're here on vacation or calling in to one of the region's cruise ports (like Falmouth and Plymouth), this amazing attraction takes you through tropical rainforest, Mediterranean countryside, and an immersive experience of the invisible. Expect incredible sights, fantastic food, and cutting edge environmental science! The daring can also enjoy the adrenaline rush of a canyon death slide!
