Porth Dinllaen - Peel

A&R Lener

Lagertha is coming home. Anew standing rigging and a new staysail furler 🙌🏻 The second leg of our trip crossing the Irish Sea heading towards the Isle of Man, good planing getting there! 🌊 Up to Holyhead motor sailing, the tides pushed is with a whooping 10 knot until we left the TSS. But once we left the TSS, the engine went off the wind picked up nicely at 70-80 degrees and maybe 15 knots or so?⛵️ Without the engine running its much more enjoyable. Cruising up with full sails out giving us a solid average of six knots towards Chicken Rock Lighthouse and the drinking dragon 🐉 at the southern tip of the IOM. When we turned northward, the wind just wasn’t strong enough for downwind sailing. So, we motored the last bit on the west coast to Peel Habour instead and waited until 1 o’clock in the morning when the lock/flap-gate opened, so we could go into the marina.
