Calm day with no wind and glassy smooth sea, so short motor across Carmarthen Bay to anchor by Calder Island. Wonderful wildlife bonanza as crossed with seals, porpoises, dolphins, giant jellyfish and Manx Shearwater and Gannets gliding low over the water.
When anchored rowed over to explore and interested to see a modern monastic island. But access only by paid ferry from Tenby and I was turned away at the slipway. Doesn’t seem very Christian.. but can’t complain as a beautiful spot.
Early start motoring out of Oxwich Bay and leaving anchored neighbors still asleep.
Huge jellyfish! Think they are Barrel Jellyfish (see below).
24 nautical miles
