Off we go again.

We set off from Neyland at about 11am to come back to Port Dinorwic. We are planning to go through Jack Sound and Ramsey Sound which will be interesting.

Thank you for looking at the page. I have set this up to record our journey from Port Dinorwic (the actual port at Y Felinheli) towards A Coruña in north west Spain. Sailors always say towards because it is superstition that you will fail if you say you are going to a particular location.
We are Ian Cheek, Ged Tyrer and me.
After months of preparation we hope to set off about 8pm, Saturday 18 May.
I hope to keep you up to date with our progress but if entries dry up it is more likely to be a failure in technology than a problem with u and the boat.
