A spare day in Pembrokeshire

Saturday:
Saturday morning we slept in, MW got the Taylors paraffin cooker going to make tea, while we had cereal.

We used the showers and decided what to do for the day. We ended up deciding to retrieve the car from Milford Haven, and also get a coffee from the chandlery at Neyland. -We also stopped off to say hello to Mrs Haynes at the chandlers, who was very pleased to hear we had arrived to Neyland successfully.

We got advice from the café regarding busses to Milford Haven and set off into the town. Although there are no cash-points in Neyland you can get cash-back from the Co-Operative mini-market.

The bus to Milford Haven runs hourly, and was very reasonable at £1.50 per person. We arrived after a senic and enjoyable bus ride to collect the car.

We spent the rest of the day exploring nearby Pembroke Dock. -A town on the opposite side of the Cleddau to Neyland, but as large as Milford Haven. We prefer it as it has many more useful shops.

I spent the remainder of the day testing and adjusting the lazy jacks on the mainsail, and fixing a broken halyard.

In the evening MW made homemade beef burgers with vegetables with Welsh cakes for desert.

With still no sign of the wind or rain we had a slow evening spent onboard reading and listening to the radio.
