Mum wouldn't approve of the language but this sums it up quite nicely. Despite being well sheltered in Trebeurden marina it's blowing 34 knots across the deck (Gale Force 8)! Whilst the waters are relatively calm beneath us the wind in our rigging and everyone else's for that matter is howling and vibrations are being sent down the mast and through the boat. We hope it calms down this evening otherwise we foresee another sleepless night :-(
