The sea today was incredibly calm, and although the air temperature was just 6°, the Menai Strait looked ever so tempting as I drove up to the layby near Gallows Point. I could see my two blue buoys that mark the entrance to the Gallows Point boat yard, very gently swaying in the incoming tide. There was a brightness in the atmosphere, even though the weather wasn’t obviously beautiful, and the deep water from the currently extremely high tide was lapping up to the boat yard itself. This meant I had to go over the wall and step straight into the sea. I love this beach at high tide when I know there’s no seaweed to tickle my skin and no rocks or silt underfoot.
