Thankyou very much to all family and friends who came to ABERDYFI on Saturday to wish us well on our trip. It was a great occasion for us. Thanks too for all those emails and texts.

 

We finally let go of our mooring at 0800 on Sunday. It was a beautiful morning with light northerly winds and we met Cath and Jane out in the bay, training in their double scull. This gave us the opportunity to take some good photos and ask Cath where she’d stowed the tea bags!

 

This first leg takes us to CASTLETOWNBERE in Bantry Bay, SW Ireland. Here I’ll  dropping off my crew of Aaroon Fogarty and Dai Harries. Two great friends and great cooks. I then plan to continue on to NUUK, Greenland, a distance of about 2000 miles.

Diolch yn fawr i deulu a ffrindiau a daith dydd Dadwrn i dymuno i ni ffarwel. Roedd o’n amser gwych i ni. Diolch hefyd am eich ebyst a negesau testun.

 

Gadawon ni y herbwr ABERDYFI am 0800 bore Sul. Roedd hi’n diwrnod brydferth a cyfarfon ni Cath a Jane yn ymarfer rhwyfo allan yn y bai.

 

Mae rhan cyntaf o Aberdyfi i Bantry Bay, Iwerddon, lle bydd y criw, Aaroon Fogarty a Dai Harris yn gadael. Dau ffrindiau gwych a cogyddion gwych! Wedyn bwriadaf i parhau y daith i NUUK yn Yr Ynys Las i aros am fy criw nesaf.  Tua dwy fil o filltiroedd.  Gobeithio bydd y tywydd yn Y Mor Iwerydd parhau i fod yn dda!

 

Hwyl am rwan.
