A chilled day...

We unusually were allowed a lie in today not having to be at the table till 9, what a treat! The crew divided with some members going fishing again and others watching Cath make cookies. A trip to the shore for everyone let the sea legs be stretched. Ian’s family were around so came to say hello down at the beach. Paul did a fantastic job of sitting next to the dinghy so it didn’t float off and strand us on the shore.
After a quick lunch of cheese on toast we set sail for Conwy. The wind was off the shore so we had a flat calm sea to sail into, FANTASTIC. It was a shorter sail today with only 4 hrs at sea all the sails were hoisted and each team stood only 1 watch. The sails were dropped as we entered the long channel to Conwy and the quality crew rigged all the fenders and lines ready for parking up for the night. Tash and Paige made a great tea of fish and chips which was devoured by all. A quick shower for all and a game of cards before bed. Tomorrow is planned to be a long day all the way back to Glasson.
Night, night Amanda.
