Stunning weather
Considering it's November what stunning weather - 3mph wind speed - wave height about 2".....

Never seen it so calm - really amazing. Felt quite warm - until the sun dropped - by God you know it's winter then!!! It was -6C last night. Dark at about 5pm doesn't help either but this winter boating lark has a lot going for it.

I can't believe how cold its got all of a sudden. Last week felt quite mild so much so you could walk around in a short sleeved shirt. Last night the ice alert thingy on the car came on. Its feels freeezzing now...

It seems Wales was quite busy this weekend.

These pics are of Bardsey Island and Bardsey sound.

I think these pics show why

Should have said where mine were taken. Its the Green Bridge of Wales and Stack Rocks, stretch of coast line about half way between St. Annes head and Tenby.

Stunning photos - will have to venture further West - always seem to go around Gower instead and yet the distance around to Swansea would take me as far west as Milford.

Gray,

You have captured last night well. It was an amazing sunset on Guy Fawkes night. Possibly better than the fireworkes themselves. There was just a massive contrast between the blood red sky and the shadowy ground, out the back of my house.

Sunset may have been good but I have never seen such terrible fog. It didn't help with all the smoke around either. Literally couldn't see from 1 lampost to the next. I drove 10 miles without getting above 2nd gear!!!

Codprawn, maybe you should install a radar on the landy to help on those foggy mornings

Mugshot: where were those pics taken? - looks a bit like the coastline around St Govans Head?

Although I was in Cardiff on Sat for a good match, Sunday was spent playing around in St Brides Bay in a non-existent swell!!

Back of Stack Rocks in St Brides Bay.


Isle of Inishmore coming up river yesterday morning.


The new pilot boat, "Skomer" also coming up river after a pilot job.


A seal resting on a rock at Skomer.


Breaksea in her new colours.


Construction work at South Hook LNG terminal, with the Indus parked next to a barge.
