Leaving the hustle and bustle of busy Milford Haven we set out at 6 am for one of the most gloriously calm days of our trip so far, we were treated to magnificent Dolphin displays and wall to wall sunshine right up to landfall, the last hour became lumpy and we crossed the doom bar to see the wonderful sandy beaches that line the river Camel.
The following photo's also show the great tidal differences around this part of the world with exposed sandy shoals to catch the unwary.
This is our favourite friendly port and is famous for it's Cornish Pasties and fish and chips.
The Cornish Pasty originated with the ancient tin mines that were the main employers of the time, most families only could afford meat once a week and the lady of the house would dice up the left overs from the Sunday lunch, wrap them in pastry and bake it the oven, the miners could put the pasty in their pocket and have a cheap tasty meal at their meal break.
