We left Padstow harbout at 0300 with the aim to catch the tide turn at about Lundy. An amazing sunrise over the Devon coast.
There was a steady breeze in the morning to help our speed. The tide turned when we were between Lundy and Hartland Point – with the addition of some disturbance in the sea state. This was soon past and the wind lessened as we picked up the good tide all the way into Swansea Docks.
Sailing along (with Lundy on the port side).
White hot in Swansea! We arrived at the waiting pontoon for the marina at 1700.

We walked to the Mumbles along the excellent coast path, with lunch on the way back at the Mermaid Cafe Bar and Restaurant (starter) and then Bistrot Pierre (main – in photo).

We visited the Altitude 28 Sky Bar at the top of the landmark Meridian Tower. Fantastic views (Molia is in the harbour photo) – we recommend it.
