Into the New Year

Starting as we mean to go on, Sonja and my self had our first paddle of the New Year. Winds had drooped to a F4, but were due to pick up latter so a paddle on the Menai Straits, from Menai Bridge to Plas Menai and then back surfing the last couple of hours of the ebb was the loose plan ...


Sonja managed without mitts or gloves ... but I didn't think it was that warm!!

A few misty and wet fronts pushed through and as the headland of Plas Menai approached, we were looking forward to turning round and having the wind assist our journey back. A short break for a hot chocolate and some cake, before heading off ...

Passing Y Felinheli on the right and ignoring the call of the Garddfon .. we paddled on getting some good pushes from the wind and an occasional surf ...

This ones for Marcus ...

Disappearing into the gloom, we were soon back at Menai Bridge and carrying the boats back to our trailer and storage area at the boat yard ... we were soon changed and then off for a coffee ... how lucky we are :-)
