Monday and Tuesday saw me out with Christine and John, who had only done a couple of days sea kayaking before but had done a fair amount of cycling. The forecast was from the SE so we headed to Trearddur Bay and paddle to Porh Dafach and back. There still was some swell about and misty drizzle start to the day, but otherwise calm and smooth ...
Day two: Having bagged an entrance to a cave and a couple of gullies, it was now time to see if i could get them some seals!! Newbrough and out to Llanddwyn Island was a possible option and one of the calmer locations, and with the wind from the SE all looked good ..
The wind picked up after lunch so we had a section of aqua rambling, before we could go through an introduction to surfing ... a big well done ...
Wednesday and Thursday was a 5 star leader sea refresher course. With The Stacks looking good and building towards a spring tide we headed off to North Stack ... Steve, Bent and Michael from Denmark ...made up the first day and it was mainly directed by what they wanted to go through ... so rescues, leadership sections, rolling and self rescues ....
Lunch time with so many seals hauled out, we decided to look for a rocky landing ...
And then out to South stack race ....
Thursday and Nigel joined the group and incident management with rock hoping was worked on. A fab location just close to the get in was working really well.
Then out to North Stack, to work the race again ...
A great week of variety ....
