We started from Penarth at 0830 and were in the 0900 lock out of the Cardiff Bay Barrage. In a very smooth sea state, we kept the engine on to start with as the east wind was light. At around 1250 the wind became a moderate westerly and we sailed for a while until 1420.
We got nearly another hour of sailing in Swansea Bay (1600-1655) before arriving at the start of the marked channel into the harbour. As low water Swansea was at 1725, we waited at the outer mark until 1800 before feeling our way in. By 1900 we were moored safely in Swansea Marina, so we went to Gallini’s for some well deserved Italian dinner.
