Quite a long stretch today across the celtic sea, to the place of my ancestors. My Grandad did a 7 year apprenticeship to become a shipwright in Appledore shipyard. He got paid / shilling a week when he started raising to 7 shillings a week by the 7th year.Weather.
Weather ENE F4 backing to the North later, sea slight to moderate, vis good.
Tide HW Midford Haven 1015
We leave at 6:30 to make the best of the tidal streams and should be sailing for 8-9 hrs.
Pretty straight forward navigation. and having set our course, trusting the tides to sweep us to the east past lundy. Then just follow the bouyage into the anchorage and find somewhere off the lifeboat staction to stop the night. As the tide is falling when we arrive options will be limited. Possibly ring the NDYC to see if we can get a mooring bony there.
