Dangerous Navigation - The Swellies, North Wales

[@trevorhart545]

Bridges Thomas Telford and Isambard Kingdom Brunel. 2 wonderful engineers.

I remember reading in 2008 Brunel designed the Britannia bridge but all that came up on internet is what I posted on video. Glad to know I wasn’t having a crazy moment in my belief it was Brunel. Fantastic mind he had. He also designed the DART line ( Dublin commuter train) through the cliffs of the Irish coast

The camera work was all John. Thankfully he remembered to press record 😂❤

Thanks for the mention and it was great to see your passage in an area we know so well. First two bridges? Well, you picked good ones for it 👍

[@WavedancerWesterlyfulmar]

As I said when we met in Dun Laoighaire your video was invaluable for the first time navigation

Just doing a bit of a catch up on your video's. Did a similar trip many moons ago (minus the Isle of Man). Bring back memories of a nice trip. Cheers! Also glad to see someone got a trip away on their boat this year. 😂

Welcome back! The scenery was beautiful looking forward to returning & exploring more. Plan on visiting BeddGelert a favourite story from my childhood, I also had a Welsh pony called Gelert after this story

Great pilotage Yvonne 👍👍👍

[@WavedancerWesterlyfulmar]

I just steered where John told me 🤭. He did camera work too as I couldn’t get distracted with so many rocks to avoid

Great walk through of the straits and relaxing video to watch. Hope you enjoyed our waters and safely tucked up for the onslaught of weather coming our way. Did you manage to see Sailing Melody while you were in Caernarfon? Enjoy the rest of your trip

[@WavedancerWesterlyfulmar]

Thanks Roy, glad you enjoyed it. We unfortunately didn’t get to meet Andy/Melissa. Safely home before stormy weather kicked off

Great job Yvonne & John, know you were a bit nervous about it. Pity you couldn't have done it with your boys in 2008

[@WavedancerWesterlyfulmar]

Ah thanks Rita, best laid plans 😉have to say the staff & treatment received in Bangor hospital were amazing
