In this weeks episode we leave the lovely @milfordmarina behind and head off up the Bristol Channel with our sights set on the capital city of Cardiff and @penarthmarina8858 part of the @weareboatfolk2461 network. We made a few little mistakes on this passage which lead to an uncomfortable journey and a few lessons to be learnt for the future.


Although we don't ask anyone for money, people do ask us if there is a way they can help us keep making these videos.

Sailing Melody

Sailing Melody is the official YouTube channel for the Bennington Family and our sailing adventures. We are now well on our way to becoming a full time live-aboard family. We started with a little 24ft Snapdragon bilge keel, and then moved up to a 28ft Great Dane long keel yacht. Now though we're working on MELODY, our 38ft Steel Pilothouse Cutter. We're working hard to get her ready to go back in the water but as you'll see there's a lot of work to do. Join us on our epic journey restoring this beautiful boat to her former glory and then come with us as we set off around the world.
