Weather waits for no-one

After a week of fabulous weather and socialising it was back down to getting the boat sorted, so off to Pwhelli we went for a haul out to fix the rope cutter and prop shaft, scrub the bottom and get some alterations made to the sail cover.

We got back to Abersoch on Tuesday and found a forecasted force 8 on the way, so we stayed put (the new Rocna anchor didn't budge an inch after 3 days of force 7 and 8's!). We are still 'put'! We had a look round the peninsular yesterday, but heavy seas and 25 knot winds on the nose made us decide that Abersoch still held appeal. We are in the bay at present anchored off the sailing club waiting for the weather to improve to allow us over to Ireland.

Funny how the weather has been for the last week. We are stuck in Crosshaven waiting for anything without South force 6 or above in it. Hope everything was alright when you were lifted - we have been having trouble with a diesel leak, but it should be cured now. A Fisher 30 foot named Galatea (from Glasson) left on Saturday or Sunday for Portugal with a newly built engine! We hope they are okay, but rather them than us.
