Rich needed to log some trip planning for his next qualification, so Tim and I were treated to a mystery outing last Sunday. Leaving a car at Moelfre, we were guided round the coast to Porth Eilian
Boat loading and personal kit transformation from normal clothes to the ridiculous number of layers you seem to need at this time of year was accomplished fairly quickly, though no doubt Rich looked at his watch a few times....
and we were soon heading out of the bay.
Once we were near Lynas, Rich could relax a little - his timing was spot-on, and we were able to benefit from the last of the flood....
all the way round the corner...
(must visit the 'hermit's' cave here - presumably an old Adit)
and down to Ynys Dulas
Where we got rather too much attention from the seals (the largest male I have ever seen stayed ashore, thankfully)
where we had a tea stop before cruising down to Moelfre.
About 12k paddled in slightly miserable weather, but good company.
Shame we didnt get a decent photograph of the 10 or more seals that launched into the water resulting in our mad dash across the racing tide!! Best time I've ever had with seals, though would prefer to return in a bigger boat that can't be flipped by a too-curious seal.
