The original plan was for me to swim in the sea in Aberystwyth whilst they played in the band and then for me to take Morgan home to bed halfway through the practise. I\u00a0couldn&#8217;t resist another Stand-up Paddle board\u00a0session\u00a0though, this time in Aberystwyth, so they dropped me off on the seafront and headed to band.<\/p>\n<p>I headed out from South beach around Pier Rocks and out around Castle Point. The water here was crystal clear and I could pretty much see the seabed throughout the entire session, even when I was out in quite deep water. I paddled across the length of South Beach and then up into the harbour, around the harbour and back out to investigate the mouth of the Ystwyth and then back out to sea and around to North Beach again.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align:
