Nothing much to say about today, weigh anchor, set a course of 190° Motor for 8 hrs, anchor. Job done.
Not quite that simple but essentially a quite boring passage, (all open sea for almost 60 miles and at midway you are at least 30 miles from land in any direction).
Wales being quite mountainous and it being a clear day was visible through about 200 degrees at one point.
One highlight just before entering Fishguard was a pod of dolphins (Short beaked Commons I think ) that swam past and around the boat. On entering Fishguard it was much larger than I remembered, (It was about 45 years ago I last came). We found the southern anchorage and decided to use one of the mooring bouys.
We shall stay for two nights here as the weather is settled and I want to find out some local knowledge about the trip round to Milford Haven, which after reading the Almanac, makes Pentland Firth look like a walk in the Park!
