Time to explore, I’m sure I’ve been to Padstow but I can’t remember it. The different perspectives of arriving by sea and being in the harbour, rather than arriving by road and looking at the harbour is quite pronounced. There is a certain feeling of being part of the entertainment, especially when you have to move the boat around, as we did.
We had a very nice meal at St Petroc’s Bistro today one of Rick Steins establishments. In the afternoon we took the ferry across to Rock in search of the winner of the Camel week Shrimper regatta and ex local boy, our very own Andy Barker. We didn’t find him, but the ferry was an interesting experience. At low tide the ferry boats just drive up onto the steep shoaling beach, the front flap drops down and you walk off, D day landings style, trekking off up the soft sandy beach.
Rock, sadly was a bit of a let down (sorry Andy) just a sailing club, a couple of bars and eateries and lots of holiday homes, Sandbanks style.
We have to be up early tomorrow to move the boat to the other side of the harbour.
