Pilots Cove

Yet another delightful spot which we had previously visited during a land based holiday to Angelsey.

Llanddwyn Island can only be reached on foot at the bottom half of the tide, and pilots cove is near the southern tip. There are actually two anchorages divided by rocks - Pilots cove, and Mermaids cove, but both are beautiful and peaceful. We arrived just in time to have lunch in the cockpit ( not been able to do that too many times this 'summer' ! ) then spent a couple of hours dozing and not catching a fish supper.

From the anchorage, we had a great view of Snowdon, which had by now lost it's cap of cloud.

We rang Caernarfon Marina to check if a berth was available, and when the flap gate would open, to be told that the gate was already open and there was space for us. We motored out of the anchorage and out to the Menai Fairway buoy then carefully followed the marked channel up to Caernarfon, where we intend to have a couple of days.
