Route

The route to Moelfre - note does not show Glen doing his first aid course

Notes

Llew was originally going to go on this day-trip but awoke with a bad foot. Peter had been left a message and he made himself available at very short notice. We would stop floating at 0920 and launch was made at about 0845, in 1.5m water, witnessed by Glen.

Nothing interesting then happened until Glen saw them coming back and took some long range pictures from the pier, when they were tacking. Or appeared to be tacking - the course changes may have been due to the amount of alcohol consumed in the Kinmel Arms.

Lessons Learned

No lessons were learnt on this trip as Glen didn't go on it
But Glen did learn a lot about resuscitation techniques - if casualty is not breathing, don't check for pulse, but immediately give 30 chest compressions (at rate of 50 per minute), then 2 breaths, then back to the compressions.
