Left the lovely anchorage at Porth Dinllaen and set course for Pwllheli, where Lagertha’s getting new rigging. Although the sun was out, we saw nearly nothing, thick fog all the way. 😶‍🌫️🌞

Bardsey Sound was a proper test! Known for ripping tides, overfalls, and wild currents. Made even more exciting by near-zero visibility but luckily nearly no wind and a rather calm sea. The radar got a workout, and the boat turned sharply more than once as the very strong tidal streams took hold. Definitely kept us on our toes! 💨🌊 Our planning was right, we wouldn’t like to be there in unfavourable conditions. 

Had to keep a sharp lookout for lobster pots, too. Hard to spot when you’re sailing in a cloud. 🦞

Just before we arrived at St Tudwal’s Island for our lunch stop, the fog cleared and the sun came out in full. Beautiful sunny day to anchor and breathe before timing the tide into Pwllheli Marina. Great sailing day and adventurers.
