Kilmore Quay 52:10.32N 06:35.29W

4 September

A splendid day in Kilmore Quay - the wind may be blowing at F6+ but its bright sunshine and we are tied up securely in a wonderful little marina, in a fine little fishing village. Lovely walk in the amngst the sand dunes.

If the weather behaves, it will be a dawn start tomorrow to Milford Haven, where a couple of calls have got me the loan of a private mooring at Dale - which should save an hour or so over Milford Marina and takes off the pressure to get there by a set time to get through the lock system.
