In Padstow

After a slow start, which involved much use of washing machines and a breakfast onboard, we went to find the bus stop to Wadebridge. Eddie checked out the times in the Tourist Information.
We enjoyed a Cornish Cream Tea with fresh strawberries, overlooking the harbour and the went to tour The Johanna Lucretia, a 96ft topsail schooner, moored in the harbour. Two fine lads were giving a good account of the tall ship and her travels.
As Eddie was preparing for a second shepherds pie, he suggested that the two lads on Johanna Lucretia may make excellent company for dinner. I agreed, but pointed out that Calviere Two would be a little cramped for entertaining. 'Lots of room on Johanna Lucretia and she has a big cooker'. Eddie went off to suggest this to the crew, and even though they didn't know Eddie or his cooking they agreed.
We bought some more mushrooms and a bottle of Chile's finest red wine and a good evening was enjoyed by all, helped along by Captain Morgan.
