Travelling back to Padstow

The cheapest way to get back to Padstow for the next leg of the voyage was coach from Victoria Coach station to Bodmin, then local bus to Padstow. The best bus left Victoria at 8a.m, which mean leaving home just after six. As early starts go it was not too bad, but the coach then ran late due to traffic and it was 18:30before we reached Padstow.
Luckily our dinner reservation at Prawn On The Lawn was not until 21:00, so we had time to shop, and do a little prep work on Robinetta and Worm before eating.
We had thought about leaving Padstow on the first tide, (high water was at 04:30), but overnight thunderstorms and a force 7 in the forecast made us reconsider, and we slept in.
