Holyhead to Porth Dinllaen and New Quai

From Holyhead we caught the South going tide to Dinllaen which is a sheltered bay 5 hours away on the North side of the Lleyn Peninsula. Then we took one of our most strenuous trips out across Cardigan Bay towards Fishguard our planned destination. For this crossing we had to leave at night so as to get the tide and wind. It was indeed a tough night!! The wind was force 5 and 6 and right on our nose. We tacked out into St George's Channel into rough seas, then tacked back and ended up in New Quai just East of Fishguard. This was the best we could do in the terrible conditions. Anyway we relaxed in New Quai for the night.
