Dale Bay to Fishguard Sun 25th July
We planned to go at 3.00am to get the tide right around the Pembroke coast, but we awoke to fog and absolutely no wind......so went straight back to sleep!! When we did wake, it was a beautiful sunny day, with a light breeze. So we decided to try this leg on the afternoon tide. We got a bit of maintenance on the steering done in the morning then set off mid afternoon and had a good start under sail. we picked up the tide off Skomer island, and really started to fly by the time we came to the Bishops Rocks lighthouse. We went through the inside passage at 11.2k - sideways!!! At that speed, it was thankfully over pretty quickly!!! The coast is beautiful - if you ever get the chance to go to the area you must get out on a boat and see the cliffs from the sea! We got into Fishguard at dusk, anchored up and hit the sack - a long but lovely day, and in the end we were glad it was foggy!
