Dale > Porthlygsi Bay / by Tim Wilson

Morning trip up the Welsh coast to anchor in pretty sheltered bay. Winds still not suitable to cross to Ireland so working north up coast a little means a shorter passage when cross St George’s Channel.

Rowed ashore and walked around coast overlooking Ramsey Island, which owned by RSPB and managed for wildlife.

Morning dew

Passing Skokholm Island

Motored across St Bride’s Bay as wind dropped to nothing.

As approached Ramsey Island passed close by a seal staring curiously.

Anchored!

Rowed ashore - can just make out inflatable.
