We made our annual pilgrimage to Padstow.  It's become part of our family tradition. The best time to visit Padstow is out of season and so we did!

Looking across from Rock

Best way of getting from Rock to Padstow

I'm not sure I could tow Arwen out of the water and across the sand to that ramp with my car 

Taking a short cut across the stern of the ferry

Looking across towards the sand dunes of Rock

Looking out to sea

'Mowgli' the dredger

Another year; the same speedboats

could solve my anchor woes.......or maybe not

all the hair braiding gear on the quayside

an emerging new art form

this cheeky chappess joined us at the cafe table

tides out!

all tide up and no place to go...tide up get it?

varnish work

must be fun to drive

remember the first picture at the top of the blog.......well the tide went out!

Padstow was nice at this time of year; uncrowded and the weather kept nice too. And to top it all - a nice trip on the ferry across the Camel estuary!
