Wales

 July 21st - Very rough crossing. Very glad to be here. 

I'm sure ill have some more 'dodgy' bits but crossing the Bristol Channel was a challenge. Problem was that its 70 odd miles across and it got rough in the middle. I simply had no option other than to sit there, for hours, , looking at the carnage around me,  hoping it was all a bad dream. On top of that everything got soaked and even trying to pop down in the cabin for food or drink proved dangerous as the boat bucked and rocked so violently. A funny old sea in the Bristol Channel.

Hats off to Alexandra Louise - she's seen far worse in her time and just bashed through. It's a shame that I haven't and felt like weeping !! Anyway, onwards and upwards.   

I landed at Milford Haven, on the South West tip of Wales.

After a tidy up I rowed to this pretty village, just in time for a pub snack at 'The Griffin'. Dunno what I'm going to do to tomorrow but probably won't have anything to do with the sea. Oh, just remembered, when he seas were at their worst a couple of dolphins popped up 'for a play'. I took a short video but not top quality as my hands were shaking. Also, the ships phone has had it. Bloody great wave swamped it and now wont even turn on. Short one tonight cos I can't keep my eyes open.
