Took my new Scupper Pro and launched from the Porth Wrach slipway at Menai Bridge.  |

Unusually, I had timed my launch with slack water, so I could enter the Swellies. Church Island was in the sunshine.  |

With the wind and the current behind me, I made it from Brittania Bridge to the slipway in 18 minutes with little effort.  |

So I'm pleased with the new SP, and I'm also pleased with the Werner Tybee paddle, which seemed as light as a feather, and took minimal effort to use.
Just as I got out of the water, the heavens opened.

He's got one from the photo competition.....what's the ebay reference number again Mal? ;D ;D
Good report that Mal wish I could have got out with you, but a little thing called work got in the way. Looked like ideal conditions for a leisurely paddle.
