Life has slowed down a little, as we soak up the warm weather. We are now one step away from Padstow although it is a big trip of 70 miles or so. We have kindly been promised a walk ashore berth at Padstow for next Thursday but we are arriving on the Monday evening so not sure how that’s going to pan out.
Meanwhile it’s been hot and windless the past few days and we have spent most of it at anchor in a fairly secluded Castlebeach Bay. We ventured round the corner to Dale where we had lunch at the Dale Yacht Club, aka COCO’S, a pizza and tapas restuarant on Thursday. Friday afternoon we took a leisurely sail up to Neyland Marina. To give you some idea of the size of Milford Haven, Neyland Marina is 7 miles from the entrance and there are still large ferries and tankers to contend with that far in.. We are in the upper basin at Neyland which means we have restricted access to the open sea over a cill (dam) that keeps the water in. Thus we can only leave at higher states of tide.
We did get a top view of the Sturgeon Moon Rising on Thursday night.
