Again flushed bilge with fresh water and liberally doused all acid affected areas with Bicarbonate of Soda. Acid has caused some deterioration of aft cabin sole.

Staysail sheets replaced. Battery electrolytes checked. All OK.

First real sail. Left Dartmouth at 14:00. Variable winds and needed to motor half way. All fast Salcombe visitor buoy at 19:00. Pretty slow trip.
