Last weekend we sailed from Swansea to Tenby on the south coast about 30 miles to the west of here. The weather on Saturday was great for going west with ebb and around 15 to 18 knots of wind. On arrival at Tenby we could not get into harbour, so tied up to a mooring until 1930 hours before we could come along side to dry out. During the night the weather changed, so we were going to have to sail back in 30 to 40 knots of wind against tide.
Leaving at 1000 the weather was SW 30 gusting 40 with 3 to 4 meter seas. Good sail home with 40 knots off Worms Head for a while. There were several emergencies along the coast, missing kite surfer, and a boat aground off the entrance of Swansea harbour.
All in all a great weekend had by all, apart from the dodgy pasta ashore.
