Padstow! OK I can now say I have seen a 40ft Yacht in the harbour (or at least a photo of one). I will take a copy as proof for doubters when I visit in October. Can't wait to hear all about it.
ReplyDeleteThis is really wetting my appetite for Scotland and the Orkneys.
Have fun.
Great stuff, Chris. Lorna told me about the blog. I'll be following your progress avidly. I'm making plans to intercept you either in the Colne or the Thames. I'll be in touch.
