So, what are the dark grey bits sandwiched between the the light grey bits? Is it Wales?!

[Downhilldai]

The bits between the sand and the sky are the foreign tourists having a nice shiver on the beach.

On the Sunday afternoon, we went out to Skomer, although I didn't get any pics out there since there was no wildlife.

Looking back at the South Hook LNG Terminal on the way down river.


There was a bit of Solent style chop this weekend thanks to a moderate northerly breeze.


Pilot Boat "Skomer" heads out on a job to srop a pilot off on a tanker a few miles off St Anns.


A bit more speed on the flatter stuff on the way back up river later - there was a hard boat with cabin trying to keep up, but a minor lean on the throttle opened up a gap.


On return to Milford, I stayed in the Marina overnight ready for the following days trip to Tenby.

On the Sunday morning, I met up with Dai just East of Chevron, and left Milford on one of the exit locks.

One for Rogue Wave - a very nice Tug inside and out this is Stuart


Sea state looked ok, so we headed towards Tenby.


Some cracking rock formations on the way.


The Seal Safari Jet Boat rounding Caldey Island.


After lunch on the west side of Caldey Island, we wondered on to Tenby through some chop. Shame the sun wasn't out.




The new lifeboat station at Tenby.

Looking back through Caldey Sound.


Barafundle Beach was pretty full despite the lack of sunshine.


A few people at St Govans Chapel.


That thing where people go down cliffs suspended by a piece of string at St Govans. I understand, the previous day, they had to rescue some people from here.


This must have made a noise when it fell


Pilot Boat "Skomer" coming back into the Haven after another job at not far off max service speed of around 20 knots.


That's it... I guess these should have probably gone into gallery, but they're here now!!
Video to come in a day or so.
