Day 5 Lundy to Milford Haven

Not a lot of sleep last night due to some false alerts from the anchor alarm!  The day is bright and windy and we sail virtually all the way to Milford Haven.  Going past the top of the island was interesting with wildly confused seas and 30kts of wind. Several waves broke right over the top of the boat. The wind remained strong for the whole trip but settled into a following wind of the starboard quarter. We romped along between 7 and 9kts arrived at estuary leading up to Milford in good time and then battled against both wind and tide to reach the marina.

Tomorrow sees and amendment to our itinerary as the tides are all against us for entry into Aberystwyth. So we will go to Fishguard of Port Cardigan tomorrow and on to Aberystwyth on Monday.
