Next step is to go a little further north up Welsh coast, and then cross Saint George’s Channel to Ireland to the north-west, but alas wind forecast to blow consistently from that direction for a few days. As quite a long crossing had to wait a few days until fairer winds as a long way to tack back and forth against the wind.
But gave me time to recover from this horrible cold, get the diesel engine leak fixed and and do few other small repairs and improvements, and explore the area.
Snugly berthed next to residential boats and apartments, with quite a nice neighbourly atmosphere.
Leak fixed! (New overflow rail and pipe fitted to injectors.)
Drying and airing after two days of rain.
The bubble hatch doesn’t fit that well which lets in water when crashing through waves, so fitting some foam to help seal better.
New halyard to starboard spreader so can fly courtesy flag.
Mullet eating weed from around waterline - thanks!
