We left Swansea in the first lock available and felt our way out of the harbour as it was only an hour after low water. The depth showed 1.9m briefly!
A light westerly wind did not help the boat speed very much, and we motored all day.
Arrived Padstow Bay at 2105 and waited until 2200 and darkness before heading up the river. This strategy paid off as Alan opened the gate as soon as we arrived, and we tied up for the night on the wall.

We moved Molia from the wall to the central pontoon, which made our stay especially comfortable.
