Blessed Milford

We left Falmouth at 0840 yesterday (Thursday 16th May) and had a pleasant motor sail along the Cornish south coast. We rounded Land's End and Cape Cornwall and set off for a night crossing of the Bristol Channel. It was calm, clear and cold. We saw Lundy in the early hours. Petrels, puffins and dolphins after sunrise. The morning was pleasant, but there was a wintry squall as we entered the harbour - rain, hail, thunder and lightning. All very dramatic. I was reminded of Shakespeare's "blessed Milford" in Cymbeline... And it's mention in Richard III: it's where Henry Tudor landed. I'm here for a few days.
