We had a very slow but enjoyable sail from Holyhead to Mermaid Cove east of Llanddwyn Island. Mermaid Cove and Pilot's Cove are sheltered anchorages amid a number of drying rocks to the west of the Menai Strait entrance. Mermaids Cove is a very pretty with sandy bays and a nature reserve nearby. After anchoring, we were delighted to see a huge seal lazing on a nearby rock looking at us. Mr Seal remained on the rock all evening and in the morning when we awoke he was still laying there looking at us.
The morning sunrise was spectacular. The sky, land and sea took on a lavender hue while the sun projected a warm yellow glow. The picture was taken in Mermaid Cove at about 0615hrs. If you double click on the photograph you will just make out the outline of Mr Seal on his rock.
