Re: Aberdaron gains ground

Sounds a plan, but not for me and my little boat. Arny may be able to do it, but it's beyond my skill set.

Re: Aberdaron gains ground

Up tp you Major, but Aberdaron will be very sheltered and afford smaller boats a pleasant evening. Bardsey is close and easier to tackle (more accurate timing) at slack water.

I still like the idea of PD and it may still be on, but if you are concerned about wind and weather in general, the extra mileage won't harm (IMHO)

Re: Aberdaron gains ground

Hi Dave
I understand the need to change the anchorage with the current forecast, it may preclude us too as we must be there and back on Saturday and it's a 55Nm run from Conwy, this would mean running onto Pwllheli to re fuel before the return.
Please keep us all informed?
Jim

Re: Aberdaron gains ground

Thanks Dave.
Having checked numerous weather forecasting information sights it seems they all agree to NW at about 12 mph.

Hmm, need to check again later Today.
Both Llanddwyn and Aberdaron are Spot On Venues.
Aberdaron is good for Me, cos I aint never dropped the hook there.
Llanddwyn?
Can't get enough of the place.
Aberdaron Matelots?
Fuel is never going to be any cheaper.
Petrol or Derv.
Petrol heads have a prob with range and supply.
Tiss Neaps though.
Good time for Peeps who have never done Bardsey sound etc etc.
Weather watching at this early hour.
Weather watching for the next 24.
Watch Little Ship's New North Wales post for info.
Or a new one from Me if and when it drops off Page 1!

Re: Aberdaron gains ground

I think we should post weather finals here on late Thu or early Fri and have a go/no go decision then. Consensus from BBC / Metcheck and Windguru-Pro.

We can also make other decisions such as postpone or have two meets!

Re: Aberdaron gains ground

Winguru is showing Max 7knts Saturday N-NW Max 9 knts N-NW Sunday PD is still achievable and it seems to be dropping.

I'm bringing some drinks with me just in case I end up at Llanwy llanlwy........ tuther place! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Although Aber do dah is a good place with the tide times and wind direction, I'm a little doubtful as I have three females on board and three Seafairing Whippet Attack Dogs!

Last time I did the return trip to HH in a Northerly from Bardsey it was far from pleasant,(Wind against tide) so I don't want to spend several hours being picked on by a gaggle of chicks! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Lets finalise on Friday PM. As I said before if all else fails I still have the car. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I use Winguru for around Anglesey, I have found that it is extemily reliable and will also pick up the different conditions at certain points.

For those that havent seen this site look here at WINGURU and it's dropping

It is now showing much more favourable weather for our weekend meeting!

I hope to be around, whether it's Aberdaron, Llanddwynn or Porth Dinllaen, I can get to any of 'em. But if it's Llanddwynn it's a bit of a distance for a raggie from Peelyweely, so might arrive late on Saturday.

Not yer usual raggie boat mine. I'll be easy to spot. Got strange growths out the side.


I know Aberdaron well. If that's the destination, peeps should be careful of going too close in to the beach by the churchyard at high tide. There are big boulders lurking just below the surface.
