Row to Trefor - Friday 4th May

We left Plas Menai just after 10am (high tide Menai Bridge) and reached
Abermenai Point (5.0 miles) after 45 minutes of very easy rowing.
Caernarfon Bar where there was some interesting surf and the bottom
not far below us was surmounted a few minutes later and we headed out
into the bay. It took a further 2 hours to reach Trefor with about 20
minutes spent resting off Clynnogfawr where two mackerel were caught.


The wind was forecast to be 8 to 10 mph but was closer to twice that
so it helped us a lot but surfing down the waves was a little
disconcerting so our hopes of continuing on to Nefyn were reluctantly
dismissed and we took the safer option of landing at Trefor's small
beach, behind the jetty, for a picnic. 2 hours 45 minutes altogether,
14.7 miles. A great day out, and the room is still lurching about a
bit as this is written 4 hours after coming off the water. Many
thanks to Neville and Andrea for coming to Trefor and towing us back
to base.
