We’ve just sailed past The Smalls lighthouse off the coast of Pembrokeshire. This puts us on track to arrive in Aberdyfi on Saturday morning, almost exactly 9 days and 1440 miles after leaving Horta in the Azores. It’s been an enjoyable and varied trip.The first leg with Pete from Newfoundland to the Azores saw us in thermals and woolly hats dodging icebergs in fog on the Grand Banks. Seven days later we were in shorts and T shirts supping the vino verde of Flores. The second leg, singlehanded from Horta to Aberdyfi (although not quite there yet!) is about the same distance as the first and also involved dodging things in fog. But it’s felt much longer; probably on account of the rather bleak social life on board!

 

CATRYN will now be based in Aberdyfi now for the rest of the summer enjoying a well earned rest. She’s sailed some 9,000 miles in the past 12 months

and needs a good refurb. The next trip? Lots of plans but nothing firm enough to write about yet. Watch this space!

 

Meanwhile, thankyou all very much for following our modest blog this summer and for your emails. Signing off now, with

Best Regards, hwyl am rwan
