Pwllheli

We decided to have a couple of nights at Pwllheli, to give us a day to clean the boat, and do laundry. The town was about a mile from the marina, and we had a quick trip in with rucksacks to get some supplies. Between Pwllheli and Abersoch, there had been a music festival ( Wakestock ) which has been a complete washout, the festival goers were just leaving, and the bus station was covered in a fine layer of mud from the swamp which had been the venue! Following Pwllheli, we had to decide whether to go right round the tip of the Lynn peninsular in the day ( through Bardsey Sound ), or have another short day, and anchor off Aberdaron; fancying a short day we opted for the latter.

We had a nice little sail up to Abersoch, and through St. Tudwal's roads, followed by a fine view of Portth Ceriad bay, then headed out across Hells Mouth bay. Bardsey Island was now in sight, and Aberdaron is situated just before the sound. Timing is important through Bardsey Sound as the tide flows at up to 6Kts !
