Nash Bar 19 April 09

We are off to Scotland soon to sample life on the wild side. Apparently we have been watching too much Ray Mears on the television. We have therefore been putting in some extra time in the boat recently in order to up our fitness a little bit. Our latest trip was a little further off shore than normal along the outside of the Nash Bar. The Nash Bar is a large sand bar which lies East to West off the South Wales coast. The eastern end is marked by the East Nash cardinal mark positioned approximately half a mile off Nash Point. There are two other cardinal marks on the bar namely the Mid Nash and the West Nash. Our plan was to launch at Stout Point Llantwit Major at high water and then ride the tide to Nash Point. Once we got to the lighthouse we would go out to East Nash and on to Mid Nash. From there we could pick up the Tusker Bell and ferry glide into Newton. Thats excactly what we did and this is a selection of the photos. Leaving the beach at Llantwit. Eurion just after launching w
