Park at St Justinian's (directions), making sure you follow parking directions displayed as the agreements have changed over
the last few years, and make sure you don't restrict access for the lifeboat crews. It's a 25-minute paddle to the Bitches
from St. Justinian’s Lifeboat Station,
and an ideal warm up. For the full experience, aim to be on the water and paddling out 3½ hours before local high water (Milford Haven).
Before you go down the steps look SW across the sound and you'll be able to see the Bitches, close to the farmhouse
on the island. You may also spot waves on Horse Rock half way across; more about that on the way back. When you get
on the water, you want to be aiming for the last headland south on the mainland, where Ramsey Sound is at its
narrowest. If you watch the water, you'll be able to see the eddy that's going to help you out! When you get to that headland you'll be able to see the current clearly; your route is a large S-cross. Once
you're about half way over you'll need to change your boat angle and paddle direct towards the island and break
into the eddy behind the first rock. Once you're there, paddle back "upstream". Most of the action is closer to the
island, so eddy hop your way across, making the most of the currents as you go.
