Rose at 0330 to catch the ebb out of the Neath River, starting with a comical reverse seal launch down a very muddy slipway. Almost flat calm conditions. Rounded Mumbles and paused just off the Coastguard station for a radio check: "weak and barely readable". I wonder whether this set has a fault...
Passed the smugglers' cave at Brandy Cove, the ruined salt-extraction pond at Port Eynon, and the
Red Chamber south of Pitton where the "Red Lady" (actually the remains of a neolithic man) was discovered. The Gower coast is understated, but gets prettier the further west you go. Landed at Mewslade and brewed up, but decided that the beach would cover at HW, so moved west to Fall Bay, where I passed a pleasant afternoon in the sun, chatting and waiting for sunset.
