Ewan joined us for our last trip out in 2023. We went around the Holms Islands, and this brings our total mileage up to 1184 NM this season.
99NM 0400-2230 18h30m (includes lock)
We decide to stay on the English side for a bit after Hartland Point – its a slightly longer track, but with the wind in the south, the fetch creating any waves is very small.
Rain sets in mid afternoon. It becomes heavy as we manoeuvre through the Cardiff Bay Barrage lock and the marina in Penarth. This is a difficult mooring in the dark and wet!
After two consecutive early starts, and long days; and after the heavy rain yesterday, we stayed all of Thursday in Penarth.
A really excellent dinner at the Pilot Inn.
We are in Falmouth for a few days to wait for the next crew, and for the Fastnet weather to go past!
