That's us ready to go and flying our new blue ensign from the Cruising Association!
The weather was perfect to set off, with a westerly F3 and little sea state. Unfortunately, by the afternoon the wind had grown and backed to a F4 right from the south. By early evening found our selves reaching too and fro but struggling to make any headway south, as the wind built towards the top of F5. It looked like being a bumpy night at sea, but luckily we were about 3 hours from the shelter of the north side of the Llyen. By last light, which was 2200 ish, we had picked up a buoy in Porthdinllaen, had hot dinner on, a bottle open and were relaxing in the welcome shelter of the little harbour. Many thanks to the harbour master for answering the phone mid-evening and offering us free use of any vacant mooring. It would have been nice to row ashore to the excelletn Ty Coch, but we were all too tired.
