Depart 1045, Arrive 1930.
Wind NW F2 to F4. Hazy sun.
Motored and sailed last 3 hours – a perfect evenings sail.
Millpond sea until 1600. Very warm 24oC. Fridge beginning to fail due to slow refrigerant
leak. Managed to find an Aircon engineer in Pwllheli for a regas tomorrow – the
power of Yellow Pages and a good internet connection whilst on the move. Walked into town – not very exciting.
Day 65 (9/7/13) Pwllheli
Marina
Very hot today 26oC.
Nick from Appliance Services arrives to regas the fridge. All is now working well. In the evening I met Doug and Joy, friends of
Neil and Sally Rice for supper at the Ship Inn plus a couple of pints of excellent
Haworth ‘Rascal’. This was followed by a
tour of the beautiful Penrhyn Hills and a nightcap at their superbly situated house
overlooking Pwllheli and the mountains beyond. Doug, well known in lighting circles for his magic
lantern shows, is also an accomplished sax player (blues, jazz, rock and
classic) played us a few tunes from his collection of nine instruments. He even plays to the cows - they are apparently
deeply attracted by the bull like low notes of his baritone sax – a sight to
see next time! Thanks to you both for a great evening. Off to Aberystwyth tomorrow
where Neil Rice will be joining the boat for a few days.
