Good things come to those who wait - The Bitches

One of my favourite places on the planet has to be St Davids on the SW coast of Wales, a sleepy little place, dotted with tea shops full of old people. Not the most rocking place for a kayaker but that’s not why you go there! It’s home to the largest tidal race off the British coast - the Bitches

The tide height was due to build through the week, unfortunately we were hampered by random sea fog so couldn’t make the 1.5 mile trip out to sea [a little hard when viability is down to 10ft!] Holding out for a break in the weather, so that i could take Sarah out on a small tide proved difficult, luckily there is plenty of other stuff to do, rockhoping some of the awesome coast line and checking out the caves. Crab fishing, well i say fishing all we managed to do was get grossed out by the smell of tinned fish and dangle a safety crab line [apparently your not allowed to use hooks to catch crabs any more!] in the water, oh and drink a lot of tea!

A day later, the fog left and the sun came out, OK so not the best tide to take a bitches virgin out on, but Sarah loved it. I only wish my first visit was this good, Afternoon tide, Sun, no swell and dolphins!

The next day the fog was back, But apparently good things come to those who wait, The day after bought on the main event, a sun set run @ the bitches on a 7m tide, check out the photos...
