Last night whilst I was returning from Port Isaac at 8.45pm I came across the Padstow Lifeboat ‘Spirit of Padstow’ towing a vessel back to harbour. The sea was flat calm and reflecting the pearly clouds so got a good photo. The following is from their website: ‘The crew of the Padstow Tamar class all-weather lifeboat Spirit of Padstow was paged today (Monday 11th July) at 8.30 pm to go to the assistance of a German motor yacht which was on passage from Ireland to St Ives. The yacht suffered engine failure off Padstow and wished to come in and make repairs. As the owner was sailing single handed and under sail he required help to get in at low water.’
Also bumped into a juvenile female Atlantic Grey Seal way out at sea, I haven’t seen one that far out before. I know that they hunt in water that deep (typically 60-70m) you just don’t tend to see them floating around like that. This may just be a nature moment ‘note to self’ as Benny just told me it’s a boring story. I found it interesting anyway but I guess that’s why I do what I do.
