Just About Sailing April 4 2017 - The Journey, pt4 Crossing Padstow's Doom Bar at night

The fourth video in quick succession. Probably best to start from pt1 if you have stumbled on this one first. Doom Bar stretches across the Camel Estuary and must be crossed to get to Padstow Harbour in Cornwall, England. It has a fearsome reputation and has claimed many ships and lives over the last several hundred years. So was I worried about crossing it for the first time at night? Well actually, yes I was a bit.
