I’m not Welsh, I don’t live in Wales, but I do know there was a Rev James Jones type of zealot who convinced a lot of poor miners they should follow him to a sad hungry ending far from home.To borrow a Michael Caine quote 'Not a lot of people know that'
Don’t try anchoring at night without plenty of anchor light aloft or you get the very sad Twang Thunk of an unfortunate nocturnal bird catching your riggingBit more thread drift. I've anchored off Skomer several times. Usually, by the time we have left, my crew have seen their first and their ten thousandth puffin!
Have you snuck in and taken the boom off while we were visiting SaltyMoose!I trickled charged 3 batteries all last winter, run lights, use a power wash from time to time, boil an electric kettle a few times each visit and have used about £10 in 15 months.
I seen Bristolfashions boat today with a bright red tender but no sign of him
I get why you said the berth is narrow if your in phase 1, there’s more room up the far end by the tower.
Your close to Sainsburys and the Yacht club though!
Anchored off Skokholm, went swimming from the boat, puffins within 6 feet of me. Watching them land in water was fun: some slowed down with wings - some just shut off wingpower at 2 feet airborne and tumbled in.Bit more thread drift. I've anchored off Skomer several times.

Skokholm, that’s a brave place to swim in all but slack water. Three weeks ago I watched the MH lifeboat go past to 2 divers who had been swept away from their support rib just W of SkokholmAnchored off Skokholm, went swimming from the boat, puffins within 6 feet of me.

Very nice to meet you, did you make it across to Porthcawl?
Weather better today, so we're off now. Best of luck with your trip & plans for the boat.Very nice to meet you, did you make it across to Porthcawl?
I like Tenby. Others may think differently but I would choose Tenby Roads, simply because you can go ashore if you need anything whereas you're not allowed to land on Caldy Island and the channel between the island and the mainland can be a bit choppy for an inflatable.Would I be better off going Tenby or Caldey? Or would you suggest somewhere else?

Sorry to hear about your skipper/crew. You're not having any luck at all in that area!
Next time anyone inquires of the forum about transportation costs they need to be directed to this thread to watch how the adventure could unfold when they decide against the road option. Must admit I am a bit jelous of the OP's unfolding story - certainly character building!
Keeping going Salty Moose.
.......Talk about thread drift SaltyMoose started the thread on his intention to get to Aberystwyth, which as far as I know has no Dylan Thomas pretensions.
There's a relatively low, but slightly steep swell from the SW.All the best and safe travels! Just about to go down to the front to have a look at the sea.
As we are on small neap tides, there is plenty of water in the channel to Milford Marina even at low water, the lock will be operating 24hr, and the haven is very well buoyed and lit at nightIt’s probably too late for the OP, but you don’t have to go into Milford Marina on arrival. There’s plenty of shelter in the haven and plenty of places to anchor. (I grew up learning to sail there!)
