Don't you just love photo story threads like this. Fab photos.
 
Good post Phil, as usual you tell the story, paint the picture and show us the proof!
Always good to see one of your well documented posts, almost like a storyboard, did you ever work in the film industry?
Tell James he is putting weight on! Well maybe it is you camera, but he looks a few pounds heavier than last I saw him.

Mal

p.s. How come no photos of Liz? Has she gone shy again :p

Cheers Mal, no never worked in the film industry, it's a natural talent!

I'll pass that on to James,I bet he'll be delighted. Anyway, he's not really fatter, it's just that I'm thinner and make him look that way.

Liz's missing out of the photos because she takes them! ;)
 
Dinas?

Phil where the heck is Dinas?

I have walked and sailed the area for a few years but have a complete mental block. Any other names? waypoint?

Love the piccy story and good on you and Liz for posting interesting pics without the need for including the usual boring wake shot.:D

I wondered that too, I think it is the rocky outcrops just N of Llandwyn and past Maltraeth. Few roads down to it & most of us just blast (err relatively speaking in a raggie) past up to Holyhead or Rhosneigr if the weather is acceptable - tho with SW'lies most of that area is far too dodgy even for BBQ's a lot of the time.

That's the place, there's a wreck just off it which is marked by a green bouy.

Well spotted, strangely enough, everyone had taken their anchor ball down by then ;) I also noticed most of them had turned their mooring lights off before I got up!

WTF is that about? Is there a marina there now with no electricity? Most people only use a white all round when ANCHORED. :D

Must have been well settled if you anchored overnight. You're potentially a long way from shelter if it goes pear-shaped & you can't cross the bar. I've only ever had suitable conditions once & I anchored amongst the rocks at Rhosneigr.

Mooring light, anchor light, pedantry is alive and well then :p

It was well settled. We knew it would be, listened to the forecast see innit :rolleyes:

I think Rhosneiger is a bit different cos the swell can get yer there, but tucked behind the sticky out rocky bit at Dinas you're sheltered from it.

You can actualy get into a little lagoon between the rocks at Rhosneigr - but it is damn tight - like the cove at Lynas so again, you have to stay up for the late shipping FC.

Now that's a trip that I'll be doing on Topaz when I have bit more exp. Great post and great pics - looks like a good time was had by all.

Ah, I know who it is now. You're doing well with Topaz, building up slowly is the way. Work your way up to going around Anglesey, a great sense of achievement once you've done it.

Probably do a trip together if you fancy sometime.
