Aberdaron Bay
Bol didn't sleep much last night such was the worry about getting out of Pwllheli after hearing about other boats getting stuck on the shifting sands at the entrance. However, by leaving at HW springs at 0730 we managed to get through without any drama, huge relief.
We anchored outside for breakfast and waited for the wind to reduce, but it was still a cold, blustery 3+hr sail around to Aberdaron Bay.
We sailed right into the anchorage and are currently bobbing gently at anchor ahead of our timed exit through the Bardsey Sound tomorrow.
Weak wifi here so no photos today but we were treated to spectacular scenery throughout the afternoon with the Welsh mountains giving a dramatic backdrop in bright spring sunshine.
