The 3rd day of the sea kayaking course on Anglesey, saw us arrive at Cemlyn on the North coast of Anglesey, considering a paddle out to the Skerries and around to Church Bay. I say considering as the forecast was NE F4/5 and early in the day it was wind against tide so the sea was likely to be pretty rough. By the time shuttles had been done the wind had dropped to f3 and now wind with tide and we had a window. We set off on a dropping ferry glide for various cardinal marks to get on the tide.

Arriving at the Skerries after an exciting ride through the last race and a super welcome from the 3,500 terns!
The must group shot!

Sunday was our last paddle day and a classic journey on the Straits and the Swellies. Photo just under Menai Bridge, which the current and wind towards us.
Crossing towards Carmell head and Church Bay, with the two black flecks in the background (two paddle blades) and a moderate sea!

Big thanks to Beat and Michaela for bringing the group and for the 2nd year and great that Aled Williams (Tiderace sea kayak designer) could also paddle with us on the Sunday.
Thanks to Barry & Justine for two additional sea kayaks and Phil at Surf-lines.
