We slipped our visitor's mooring in St Mary's Harbour on Wednesday morning and after rounding the island headed for Milford Haven across the Bristol Channel.  Initially a fetch, the wind gradually backed allowing a fast reach in uncomfortable seas and, despite the clear sunny weather, it was cold.  From sunset the wind and swell gradually decreased but sadly the two-thirds moon became obscured by cloud; it was a very cold night.
 
We entered the Haven as dawn was breaking (0500 local) and proceeded to its eastern end, berthing in Neyland Marina at 0700 local.
