Just a short trip to anchor in Dale before crossing the Bristol Channel to Lands End. We pre-booked filling up with fuel (only 50 litres) before entering the lock and descending into the Haven. By this time it was raining and blowing hard, so it wasn’t very nice and we just motored the short distance to Dale where we dropped anchor and re-checked that we were already for the passage tomorrow. The forecast is for west to northwest winds, strong to start with and then moderating later. A bit bumpy on the anchor and we didn’t sleep that well what with the wind howling through the rigging and worrying about the long passage tomorrow.
