This stretch of water os renowned for The notorious Portland Race; the huge turbulence is caused by massive volumes of water surging up and down over the great undersea Portland Ledge,
" Well few days ago we took a little bit of weather crossing the Bristol Channel. As the weather slowly worsened we had no choice but to push miles of the coast and offshore to keep ourselves and the boat safe to some of you land lovers this will make no sense heading into the chaos but it’s what you do when there is no where to hide. As darkness fell the wind piped up and we got hit with a few bad gusts and our reefing horns snapped which caused the sail to gain more power but we got the sail lashed down and the 2nd reef working well so we could continue pushing through the weather all was well by 0.9.00 the next morning. We headed for Milford Haven were we got met by a very kind gentleman who got us the specialist we needed to fix the horns. So all is well now and we can relax down in dale anchorage and await weather for the next move. Many. So thanks to Lee for the donation today which has helped towards the horns. Thanks to you all past and present for your help "
