I want Pics

[powerskipper]

Of all the places you cruise, I was talking to my YM students to day and we were talking about all the different cruising grounds there are, and I had an idea.

.bet you have guessed it.
could we maybe have a sticky thread for new peeps about how great our cruising areas are with lots of pic, we have thread up about them but they get lost in the either, so come on MODS can we do it?
please,
pretty please.
a wishful boater. x

Yep no problem! How about exploring the cruising grounds off Pembrokeshire. With some challenging sections for the experienced, and sheltered waters for the novice, there's always somewhere suitable for boating in Pemb's for most weather conditions.

Daugleddau estuary

Tenby Harbour

Maybe visit one of the local Islands like Caldey

Or Skomer Island

And for the more adventurous there's Grassholm almost 9nm west of Skomer

And the Smalls lighthouse another 9nm West

St Brides Bay has some great anchorage and cruising

This is the sort of thread that would get interesting contributions from yachties and motor boaters but there's no where to post it. It's all about floating imo. Looking forward to some nice piccys though.

Hi Barney,

That sort of sets a standard that most can't follow, what a great cruising area you have and super pics to boot. Thanks.

Oi Barney..... Could you delete yr post.... Don't want all & sundry coming here. How about all the sharp rocks, Oil tankers and sea monsters ready to grab the unwary venturing further West than the Solent!

Thank you Roger, My Canon 600D is only just entry level pro cam, but it makes light work for learner photographers like myself.
the majority of those where shot during a 160nm weekend cruise earlier this year, the yachts pictured where heading toward the annual river carnival,
whilst we were heading out to the Smalls LH.

Hey tico, Don't worry there's plenty spare berths in either marina, and anchorage in all the sheltered bays of course,
The monsters have been sorted now, the men in black have set them in stone and placed them by the cliffs.
