With the winds dropping off to F2 and from various westerly direction The Stacks was the plan. From Porth Dafarch to North Stack and back was about 20k, and with the hop of catching South Stack race just right ...
ladder assisted rescues, can work really well in rough water, although it does mean the swimmer needs to know what their doing and not much good if an anchored tow is needed. But great to have another style of rescue ... Zoe and Gary above
Tavi on the last of the flood form Pen Rhyn Mawr ...
Gary and some working in the rocky channels ...
Andy and just before Lighthouse Arete and South Stack lighthouse ....
Gary making the most from his hood ... after some lunch and then on to North Stack.
Zoe showing super fine balance at North Stack, with a few steep and confused waves
Leaving North Stack and looking back ...
Approaching South Stack ... with a F2/3 southerly breeze and some wind against tide ...
Zoe getting power, speed and timing spot on ... with South Stack lighthouse in the background
Tavi descending a wave with Parliament House cave and North stack in view ...
With the wind now blowing more F3 and due to increase it made sense to paddle on towards our start point, another porpoise popped up and we were soon back at the beach having used the ebbing conveyor belt, to assist us.
A super weekends paddling ...
