This, as the bugler said, is the last post.

Janet joined me in Dartmouth for the weekend and, after a wonderful evening in Taylor's restaurant on Saturday,  we left the Dart on a rather cool and overcast Sunday morning for the last 18 mile leg home.

We were joined by some dolphins in Torbay and then by three boats from the yacht club in Teignmouth, who formed a bit of a parade behind Jojac as she came home into the Teign.

I was absolutely amazed to see some of our friends from the club braving the chilly weather to wave me in to the river. Thankfully the rain stayed well away so although it was nippy it was dry, which was great because they'd organised a beach party and barbie as well.

Thanks to everyone for such a great welcome, and Rob and Karen for organising everything. A wonderful way to come back, and completely unexpected.

Jojac returned to the river at quarter to three after 140 nights away, 2,361 nautical miles and more dolphins than you could shake a stick at.  My final pic is of the boat back home with some bloke just before rowing ashore for the festivities.

I can't end this voyage without saying a big thank you to Janet for supporting me all the way through. She was always there in spirit, but the best bits of the trip were when Janet was able to join me - the Thames, the Scottish canals, and these last two weekends in Cornwall and Devon.

And that only leaves me to say thanks to all of you for watching, you've been a lovely audience, and with due credit to Warner Bros:
