Slight problem with the batteries so put into Padstow to assess the situation. Sorted ourselves out, had showers, indulged in a magnificent breakfast (researched by Adrian!) and fixed the compass light and then set off for Falmouth on the evening tide.
Short hop across the Bristol Channel to the land of Claire's forefathers! Only 19nm covered today.
There'll be no pictures because the boys have gone on ahead! James and Adrian left Portishead this evening set for Barry (where would we be without her!).
After a visit to Victory, what better way to celebrate than with dinner at Boisdale with eldest son and favourite daughter-in-law! Great Day even if it wasn't spent sailing!
Fantastic to see Duncan and Cathy's new home ...... and this is what I call a Galley!
You know the old joke - Why does it take 3 men to change a light bulb? ... well here are 3 men changing a pump!! And, guess what, it did work at the end so success story all round!
Visitors on board Ocean Rainbow for a quick spin in the 'Bay' were rewarded with a trip up Channel in beautiful weather and a quick stop for lunch at St Pierre (Nikki'd never visited before) and then home again without one drop of rain!
Just a quick trip to Oxwich via Barry and back via Swansea and Penarth. No fish caught, some sunshine and some rain!
