Did you get on ok? I saw you leave Conwy and heard you had an encounter with Prince Madog on the VHF.
Not much wind this morning but by the afternoon we had 20 knots!

Yeh, thought I'd give Him a shout, case we got rammed!
My First Mate today is soon to become a 'raggie whatsit' it seems so we were discussing sailing winds/conditions etc, as it appens and yep it did pick up nicely for you guys later

All went very well, ideal conditions, 37 minutes there, 4 hours back! Good fun though. Kilter is now safely tucked up at PD awaiting a lift out.

Hah! beat him by a day - we moved in on Saturday
We are, though, teetotal methodists who won't have a drop of alcohol on the boat. No siree. Not a drop.....

They are the worst sort once they give up the pledge.. I should know I married one
We missed all the action this weekend. Friday night spent in Mermaids cove on two anchors to be sure to be sure! 2 CQRs
Saturday back in Viccy dock for a brilliant meal in Stones Bistro (highly recomended) This was followed by a drink and a warm welcome at the Royal Welsh.
Sunday through the bridges (First time for at least 25 years
nothings changed much still made the arse twitch a bit!)Monday round Puffin and we get Tamsin back to PD pushing the tide an hour and half before slack . Methinks not a good idea if it were springs!
I cant think why I every thought Pwllheli was a good place to stay.
Mind you I managed to ground big style in Viccy Dock There is a big mud bank opposite the HM office near the hammer head. Same council same lack of expenditure on dredging

With a little help from my friends!
It was a bright sunny morning on the Conwy river and at 08.30 we were picked up by the redoubtable Kwackers
Although it was sunny it was not very warm as yet!
After a certain amount of pumping bilge and playing with string we set off alongside as far as The Beacons and then transferred to an ahead tow
In time we raised Puffin Island
Where we ducked inside and shortly after Prince Madog snuck up on us
Leaving Puffin behind
We moved in to the moody looking Straits
Where Jack taught uncle Mike how to helm
and headed down towards The Swellies
and shortly after emerging met the welcoming committee
Kwackers tries a curious move...
in order to blag a cup of tea!
After parking by the council estate and waiting for water we went for a blast in the RIB
When the tide served we headed into the lock
before poodling in and parking
More to follow when she's lifted and the refurb begins!
Many thanks to all who helped!

Great photos - not a bad day by the look of it. If it was anything like the Saturday it was bleedin' freezing though!
See you all soon
Err... and about this boat warming thing......
