I don't know, I only saw the second version, which was a 44ft ketch he sailed back from the Phillipines. He wrote the SEa guide to Pembs, if you ever came across it. Diving friend of mine, but a lover of all things nautical, and all round nice chap. He left Pembs and now lives abroad, i guess for about 3 years or so now, but I know he did have a yacht at Llangwm a few years back.

That's the one!
And if you're really adventurous Lynmouth and Porlock Weir - do not go the the hotel - miserable bar keepers there and a rather inflated sense of their place in the hierarchy of service providers!

What does seem a little odd is that, in the first picture, it seems to be flat calm, and yet he seems to be holding onto that line as if he is struggling to stay upright. Why would that be?

Porlock weir;
"miserable bar keepers there and a rather inflated sense of their place in the hierarchy of service providers! "
I must say - we had a great couple of days there in February and enjoyed the service.
Don't forget that the entrance to Burnham on sea is fine after 4 hours tide unless you have a f5 with West in it - and it leads to a secluded river pontoon off the sailing club. We would make you welcome.
