Blue skies and silky seas!

This weekend was the last of our Winter Skills programme, but with temperatures in double figures it was more like a super summers day!!

Sat saw us off to Rhoscolyn to get some tide/current and out in some distance ...

Jon on one of the narrower rocky channels

As we paddled towards Rhoscolyn head, the ebb had begun, but only just which allowed us to paddle through. There was a reasonable swell running so the various cave sna darches were out of the question ... but the sun was great!

and at times the swell pushing up over the shallower sea bed gave some exciting moments!

Sue keeping her eyes open and looking out for bigger swell ...


Sunday and another forecast of light winds and a stable high!!

Rich ...

and Keith ...the photo says it all!!

We then headed back to Anglesey, using the last of the flood to push us up the coast ...

Jon and Middle mouse in the distance and a few porpoise sightings!!

The brick works and lunch ...
On the way back we kept closer in, exploring the channels and experimenting with strokes ...

Keith even found a channel which was new to me!!

Super weekend and what amazing weather ... I LOVE my job!!
