"Life is like a box of chocolates" said Forest Gump's Nan - here is perhaps, an example of that analogy? We awoke at Cemlyn, after overnighting there after the last video, but Matt decided to leave as he had to see a 'man about a dog' so I persevered alone to the OPPOSITE side of Anglesey to shelter from the wind. As you can see the wind, as usual decided not to play ball, and contrived to piss me right off, as usual. But wait, upon deciding to turn back, I sheltered in Pilot's Cove, planning a light lunchy, but got talking to a rather nice fellow about the trials and tribulations of owning a Shetland Family Four, which was a power boat I nearly purchased 20yrs ago. Anyway, the upshot is, the wind miraculously dropped off, and allowed me to explore a good way up the Malltraeth estuary, which I personally found to be a most delightful experience, especially so after deciding to abort the day's paddle. I've tried to capture the atmosphere and peacefulness of the estuary, the bird calls in particular adding the finishing touch, I felt. Also on the return, I witnessed Llanddwyn Island become an actual Island for the first time in my many previous visits here.
