Sharpness to Cardiff

[sch3nk3r]

Hi
Just got back from our first crossing to Cardiff. We had a brilliant time, can't wait to go again! I have put a video on youtube.

I must say how impressed I was with the staff at Penarth Marina, they were so helpful and everyone was so friendly, excellent marina.
Thanks for viewing the blog along the way.

Thanks for the vid. Choppy? About normal for wind-against-tide, I would have thought. It couldn't have been all that choppy because the fender didn't fall off the side deck. BTW, I would humbly suggest not leaving the mooring warp lying on the foredeck in case it slips over the side and goes into the prop.

+1 for Penarth Marina.

Poor seamanship! bad habits from pottering around on the river I'm afraid. We tidied up for the way back.
