Day 103 Aug 9th Fishguard.

To go to Milford Haven from Fishguard safely you have to have good weather and get the timing of the tides right. We were given this information by the harbourmaster who gave us a detailed route map describing the whole journey and just about every rock to avoid. It seems that you should leave at HW Fishguard, and maintain a boatspeed of 5knts all the way. Tomorrow HW is 0630, which is not too early, and the weather is just right.

So it was a rest day in Fishguard, the town itself is up on the top of the hill and was quite a climb. We had a coffee and grabbed some supplies from the Co-op. In the afternoon we had a quick lunch in the Fishguard Bay Yacht club, before visiting St George’s Fort up on the headland.

Then a quiet evening on the boat and an early night ready for tomorrows passage.
