Its getting light and we are coming up to St Annes Head. time to call the skipper.

Its been a bumpy watch with me thinking that "we might need a second reef in soon" and daylight shows that we had the second one in all night anyway.

Still it was good experience in night navigation and some great sailing.

Now where are the markers for the west channel?

Ah here is the skipper and she’s all yours boss.

Little buoys bobbing in in the waves and beacons that look like lighthouses this approach has them all! There the cardinal fine on the port bow.. And we are into the sheltered waters of Milford Haven.

Head up into the marina lock and they are about to open it.

Watch out theres a seal in here!

The gate opens, the tide is right for free flow anyway and we and the seal slip into the marina. 125 miles covered in 24 hours, not as far as John wanted but we are closer to home.

Time for a breakfast and then get some shut eye, but Gary and I have a friend in this area, I wonder if we can meet up. Ring him at 09:00 and say were in the marina, and he replies Which pontoon are you on, F well I’ve just got in as well I’m on my boat on G. So we call around for a chat before he leaves for home.

And then sleep, get up to go to the Nelson Hotel for supper, and then sleep again!
