A five-foot long toy boat called the “Carolina Dreamer” washed up on the shores of Borth Beach and was discovered by Helen Hinks and her three-year-old son during a walk along the beach.

We took our boat out last Friday. 8 to 10 ft swells with 3-4 ft waves on top of the swells. It was sweeeeet! But I don’t see a 5 ft built like a real boat making it to Wales. You’re right. That’s more like a big piece of driftwood.
