Sea Kayak Anglesey Oct 2011

HI Folks


Intro to Sea Kayaking, in Anglesey, North Wales. October 2011.
Awesome weekend & the weather gods were kind. 
Day 1. East Coast Bychan Beach to Llugwy Beach around Moelfre. 
We got the Force 5 to 6 South Easterly on the first day along with sunshine (do not always believe what you read online!! BBC predicted rain all weekend.) Took shelter in the bays & along the coastline & we all proved our ability to paddle into wind. Got a gentle taste of sea surf on the rolling tide in between the island & mainland & not a swimmer in site!


Day 2. Bull Bay to Amlwch to Porth Wen & Return.
Ventured onto the North Coast to gain shelter from predicted winds only to find the sea flat calm! 
Practised boat manouevres & skills in the bay then headed off into wind & tide to see just how long it really takes! All relieved to turn & run with tide & wind. Porth Wen as always is a primo lunch spot.
Rescues & rolling practise back in Bull Bay just left enough energy for the drive home!


Thanks to everyone who came along for a great weekend. And thanks to the weather Gods for looking our for us!
