Early start, seemed to take forever to get to Turbot Bank buoy (see yesterday), then at last we had a good sail to Lundy, arriving there around slack tide, so the claimed overfalls were not operating. On the way the weather forecast changed, predicting wind from NE. That meant we would not be able to spend a full day on the island, but would probably be able to make an overnight stay. Going ashore we found the top of the island in mist. Walked up to the village, such as it is, and had an evening meal in The Tavern. As NT members we did not have to pay the landing fee – our NT membership might be paid for with all this year’s visits.
First view of Lundy
Getting a bit closer
Steamer pier and landing place. This pier was built in 2000. Before that the ferry had to land on a tiny slipway very close to the shore.
The anchorage (off SE corner of the island)
Mist is down and another boat has arrived.
