set off very early from oxwich bay to head to padstowsceptow, the sun was shining but the wind was biting! I make a poor boat wench as i had not bought the bacon, but all that was forgotten when a large pod of dolphins joined us. Not a bad start at all! We are about an hour from padstow now, and am looking forward to some fish and chips.
