Tide is nearly always a factor when you plan a trip on the Anglesey coast, and sometimes low tide options seem scarce unless you are happy to carry/trolley your kayak over what seems like several miles of soft sand.
Last week's option was simple - launch at Foel (by the old Mermaid), dodge through the sandbanks to Caernarfon and head off to Belan.

Then across to Abermenai point (some excitement for those new to seakayaking as the flooding tide began to exercise its antipathy to the wind direction) before a blast back along the Anglesey shore with a magnificent backdrop.

and return to Foel as the light was fading.

about 12k paddled.
Always happy to paddle the straits and look at the wildlife, and in this instance help Frank get to grips with an Anglesey Stick. The route needs no explanation, so I will let the pictures do the talking.
