The first leg of our voyage was a short 18NM across the Severn to Cardiff and its Penarth marina. We do this a lot!

We met the paddle steamer Waverly off Clevedon in Somerset – just getting up steam in the early morning. She is the last seagoing passenger-carrying paddle steamer in the world, and a frequent sight on the channel.
Making use of our new padded rail cushions – very comfortable.
