Boat Trip 2010

Pride in Plymouth are proud to announce that the combined profit from the boat trip and raffle has raised £225 for the Eddystone Trust.

We would like to thank all the lovely people that supported this event, the weather was against us but those that came aboard the 'Devon Belle' on Friday 20th August had a great time. We would also like to thank Hawkins Meeting House for doing such a good job selling tickets and providing a much needed buffet for when we arrived back on land.

Our benefactor the Eddystone Trust provided some goodies including LED torch key rings, lolly pops and safer sex packs.

Due to the unseasonal weather the boat couldn't land at Cawsand therefore they took us through the calmer waters of the Hamoaze and up the River Tamer. Just crossing the sound was a bit choppy which added to the fun - though not for the few people that got soaked. The loo was interesting a proper boat bog that required pumping.
