SAILING DIRECTIONS Bow Creek Area
Beyond Stoke Gabriel From the entrance to Stoke Gabriel Creek, keep close to the outer moorings on the Stoke Gabriel side of the river until reaching Mill Point. Once Stoke Gabriel church goes out of view behind Mill Point, turn to port and steer 260º on course with the green beacon at the entrance to SG astern and White Rock ahead. See fig. 15
“Stoke Point” starboard lateral mark will be ahead of you - leave this buoy to starboard.
As you get near White Rock there is a barn on the far side of Bow Creek and when this lines up with the right hand edge of the near bank it is time to alter course with a slow turn to starboard to head towards Bow Creek (port lateral), a red can, unlit with White Rock astern and Langham Wood (starboard lateral), a green conical, unlit on the starboard bow.
If you wish to explore Bow Creek turn to port.
Bow Creek Bow Creek is navigable on a rising tide. The channel is marked with port and starboard lateral marks. This area dries out.
Proceeding Up River to Totnes: The channel to Totnes from here (Home Reach) is relatively straightforward. Speed and therefore wash are to be kept to an absolute minimum.
Turn to starboard at Bow Creek (lateral mark) Leaving Langham Wood (starboard lateral) to starboard you will see the houses at Duncannon come into sight. When the second house is aligned with the left hand edge (see fig. 17) begin a slow turn to starboard to head to the moorings at Duncannon. Steer towards Duncannon, leaving the moorings to starboard and port lateral marks “Ashprington” and “Duncannon” to port. After passing these buoys, keep close to the Duncannon shore (right hand side).
