We set sail just after 6.00 a.m. in order to catch the tide around Hartland point – no time for a girl to do her ablutions! The forecast was Force 5 – 6, occasionally 7 later. We managed to sail the 40 miles to Padstow on one tack on a beam reach and arrived about 1.00 p.m. A large school of dolphins accompanied us for a while and two basking sharks were loitering near the entrance to the river at Padstow.
We decided to go into the harbour rather than pick up a buoy outside as the forecast was not good for the next day. As we entered the harbour, we looked nervously around to see if the Padstow life boat was inside – last August it reversed into us and caused about £3,000 worth of damage!
WILDLIFE: School of dolphins, two basking shark, guillemot, gannet
PADSTOW HARBOUR FEES: £16.95
