                                          How did the two of you feel about it? Fun? Scary?

                                          We made two major errors…

                                          1. We did not check the Met Office forecast and relied on windy.com....Bad move, windy.com gave us a very rosy picture of the days weather
                                          2. We did not notice the wave icons on the chart way down the channel, because we assumed the worst conditions would be at the narrowest part.  WRONG... We got through the narrows with hardly an issue, then we got to The Bridge (it's a buoy called Bridge, so the whole area is known as the bridge)...

                                            In a chat with @goosehd , I told him that today we will go home via the North Channel (an alternative route home.)…

                                            It’s called the north channel and is where a lot of the transatlantic races end, because, guess what, going past The Bridge is too dangerous 🤡🤡
