Grand Tour Day 45: Port Dinorwic to Conwy Marina

On passage under the Menai Bridge to Conwy and a petrol explosion on a Coronet

Missing Link enters the Menai Strait and visits Port Dinorwic

A visit to Porth Neigwl (Hell’s Mouth) from Hafen Pwllheli by road.

A small engine service in Hafen Pwllheli becomes a bigger task, but we find the ideal way to end a day by taking the road to Porthmadog.

Time to clean and prepare for visitors at Hafen Pwllheli

112-mile passage from Neyland Marina on Milford Haven to Hafen Pwllheli in North Wales

An accident with Missing Link’s draws is offset by a chance encounter with dolphins as we start to make progress again.

Back on board Missing Link but now off schedule, we make the best of yet more wind and rain by visiting Swansea Maritime & Industrial Museum.

Behind the scenes at Penarth’s lifeboat station and onwards to Swansea.

A day off in Penarth provides the opportunity to check progress on Cardiff Bay’s ��200m barrier and the implications of its completion.
