1st Aug 2009, Swansea - and some photos

Friday 31st of July and the weather was reasonable for moving west although it meant heading out of Cardiff and fighting the tides & current for the first few hours; but at least it was ‘neaps’ so not as bad as it could have been. We managed to sail for about half of the time but when the wind dropped, was more astern than from on the beam and the seas became very confused we got the motor on and made best speed into Swansea, arriving about 6:45pm. We hope the bad weather in the Irish Sea will quieten in a couple of days and then we’ll make or way further West & North.

The photo’s below are 3 from Loctudy, 1 of leaving France with 10 French boats barely visible in the distance; then 4 from The Scillies and 3 at Padstow. Then Cardiff - 6 of relatives, 13 from the night of the French Circus act and a couple of old black & white photos from years ago….
