Bristol is one of those rare places where narrow boats meet sea-going yachts. This one was heading for Portishead, though it wasn't a very calm day, so I hope they arrived safely.
Winds were strong and sea quite boisterous for the sail to Lundy - with a very rolly-poly night anchored off Porlock on the way!

| Brisk sail to Lundy |
A gentle day on Lundy Island was a treat. It doesn't take long to walk the length and breadth of the island, and there are a few deer and seals who live there, alongside several hundred visitors, at this time of year.

From Lundy, the wind eased and sun came out burning hot for the sail and motorsail to Padstow. It's now raining again but, earlier this morning, before crowds appeared and fish-frying started, all was bright and tranquil. (I'm tied up behind the boat with the sail partly hoisted.)
