Weather: Wind F3/5 N or New Sunny with slight to mod seas
Tides HW Peel 1430
Quite a long journey today, about 50 miles, pretty straight forward,the biggest Hazards being the shipping Lanes near the Welsh coast.
We set off at 0930 hrs. This will mean the least amount of cross tides and still arrive at a reasonable time and the shortest journey.
Weigh anchor then out of the bay and astarboard round St Patricks Isle and set a course of 178° . Until we clear the south of the island the tide will be setting us towards the land so we may have to adjust our heading initially.
Then it's just keeping lookout for the next 6 -7 hrs. The tide will be pushing us. West as we approach the Anglesey coast. We should be able toget a fix off of Lynas Point Lighthouse then follow the coastline to Ynes Molfire rock/island.
Now we have to find an anchorage. Molfre bay ishould be sheltered from the expected light NW winds, a little further down the count is Treath Bychan a small bay with good holding. Failing that its a bit more of ajourney round into the menai straight and find a bout at Beaumaris,
