After such an early morning yesterday, today’s 10:30 start felt like complete luxury. So was a day on land exploring how to make gin at Salcombe Gin Co. We split into two teams, team Mactaggart (Jeremy and Islay’s family name) and team Wirral (where Joe and Stew grew up). Each group got to choose which ingredients to add to their own bottle of gin. With out conferring, we each naturally went for completely different styles, Stew and Joe choosing to go more for the “Dark and Stormy” focusing on spices like ginger, nutmeg and lime. While Jeremy and Islay went for the lighter/sweeter choices of elder berries, strawberries and orange. With more than 100 different spices, flowers and flavourings to choose, having the chance to smell all the small jars was an education in itself. For example, I’d never tried a juniper berry before today, one of the main ingredients of gin. Made me realise I should be more adventurous with my spice cupboard the next time it’s my turn to make dinner – hibiscus leaves anyone?
In the evening we were excited to be welcomed back to give a talk about our adventure. And even more delighted to have a big group from Bantham surf club come join us. A really enjoyable evening talking about the sport we love, what an incredible experience we’re having on this adventure, and the exciting things we’ve still got to look forward to.

Although still in Devon, we discovered that Jeremy had never had a Cornish Pasty before! It being one of my must-haves whenever visiting this part of the country we made a visit to the bakery for our dinner.
Oggy is a slang term for a Cornish Pasty, and some think that the origin of the popular sporting chant stems from when the miner’s wives/pasty sellers would yell down the mine shafts “Oggy Oggy” when the pasties were ready, and the miners would repond back with “Oi, Oi”
