Storm Passes over Cemlyn

Storm force 9 winds blow over Cemlyn. Shelter on the beach from the stone ridge. Waves and sprat hitting the Skerries, but too windy to stand up to the wind and take a photo. All the stones thrown up onto the car park from the last storm now tipped back on the beach from the car park!
