7.4 Knots Sailing A Drascombe Lugger On The Menai Strait

This is part 1 of a 4 part series sailing my Drascombe Lugger DInghy down the Menai Strait. IN this part we sail from Port Dinorwice or Y Felineli for it's proper Welsh name and after a shaky start we enjoy an epic sail all the way down to the Abermenai anchorage. Here' we beach and have a check of the Caernarfon sand bar and sure enough we confirm we were never going to be sailing out to sea this trip. With winds building fast i sail all the way back to our home for the night.
