Round bardsey

We are now through bardsey sound and sailing towards caernarfon. We left the tip of the lleyn peninsula about 15m to leeward: quite close. Geoff seems to know how close he can get to land without actually shipwrecking us!
Once round the tip we have been close tacking round little headlands and into sandy bays. It was a thrill to see our fan club in one of the bays: my nieces emma, laura and kate and their mum and dad. We say them waving from the shore (really not that far away) and waved back between flinging the jib across as we tacked.
We are now in about 6th position. The run is about to set into a cloudless horizon and we need to sleep before the run which should start in the small hours of the morning.

  1. Glad to hear everything is going OK. The wind conditions sound odd this year, but you seem to be having nice weather. I am up now so should be able to follow any posts you make about the Snowdon run - there are some benefits to being in a different time zone!
    Good luck with the first run. I'm glad to hear you saw your fan club!
