Tuesday

Others we know have been to Killini before us. I'm sure they must have told us all about it but I only remember that they didn't like it very much. We followed the pilot guide and went to moor stern-to behind the breakwater as it directed us. As soon as we got close we knew it wasn't right. The area is clearly prepared for something very big to come in and cranes wait on the shore.

Our other alternative was to anchor off the beach but as there was a mast visible over what is described as the fishing harbour it seemed sensible to have a look. Our cruise-past coincided with the arrival of a fishing boat going much quicker than Seren Môr. He was waving frantically as suddenly the water under us disappeared and we touched the bottom. The fisherman's comment was, as I recall, "Inside is good, go inside!" We took his advice.
