Usually, arranging a trip for more than two boats, is a guarantee of a slow start to the day, but everyone was early in terms of collecting kit and kayaks, and we rather beat the tide to Gallows Point - still, good to have a relaxing start.
Bimbled along in the direction of Menai Bridge.....
past this house that we once thought of buying - well just the old bath-house in the middle really - wonder how high the tide gets on a big spring?
Heading into Menai Bridge, and although we are still early in terms of the tide, you could be forgiven for thinking that it had already changed (look at the way the boats are lying).
Traditional stop for tea at Porth Daniel - with an extra treat from Tim of Ice-creams.
Lots of jelly-fish in the straits, and one rather large fellow (Lion's Mane?) next to our boats.
Met John Willacy on his way back from playing on the Swellies wave, who mentioned that the bridge was festooned with bras as part of a fundraiser for MacMillan Cancer Support.
As we paddled abreast of the bridge, you could see what was suspended there
Relaxed lunch stop East of Nelson, then rode the tide all the way to Foel - it was like paddling in the Med, with warm sea, blue skies and good company. James had not been in a kayak for about 3 years, but easily paddled the 18k.
