Third Time Lucky...

A day of persistance, Me & Stuart (Of Mayday Fame(LOL), more about that later) decide to paddle from  Solva to St Brides via Green Scar & Stack Rocks...
A quick Eskimo Roll to get my groove...


(TAKE 1) ~ Doesn't look like from these images but it was well rough out of the harbor & we were likely to take a pasting so we reluctantly decide to look for a calmer stretch of water to put in...
(TAKE 2) ~ We head to Broad Haven to try again...





We played in the surf for a bit but it looked a little lumpy past the waves so decided to head back to St Brides by van...
(TAKE 3) ~ On arriving back at St Brides we bump into some local tour guides (Sea Kayak Guides) taking people out to Skomer for the night & they kindly let us tag along...
Nice big swell on the first stretch with the other kayakers seemingly coming & going as the waves moved past...

We surf into Musselwick Sands, think Stuarts getting the hang of it. Is that a smile or a grimace?


After a brief break we get back underway, huddled up having a chat I nearly pissed myself laughing. One of the clients, a lady from bath recognized 'Seakayaking-Stuart' from the mayday article on UK rivers guide website. Thats the second person today (LOL)...
Crossing Jack Sound, thankfully without incident. The southern part was much rougher with the wind in the south but the Northern tip of the sound was kind to us today...



After a brief break we headed back into following sea's that kept us on our toes. A few porpoises popped up right in front of Stuarts boat but he was unable to get a picture. Thought he'd be better than that after ribbing me for not taking pictures of the Dolphins I saw on the Lleyn Peninsular (LOL)...

  1. Sea Kayak guides - a thoroughly nice bunch, met them a couple of times.
    The sea on that southern side of the 'St Davids ' peninsula is an exciting place when the sea's a bit lumpy!
    I'm off to Angelsey on Friday for a quick trip testing a potential new boat, photos and a review to follow.....

  2. Ooh Anglesey, Only got back to Cardiff today & I'm already planning my next trip.
    Is it a Rockpool? & I think they do Nigel Dennis Kayaks there too. Any clues...

  3. None of those! I'm taking a Tahe Marine Reval mini from Brookbank at stockport.
    Fancying something in the sub 16' class, it fits the bill perfectly, loads of rocker, which should make it fairly agile.
    Hoping the weather forecast is correct as its looking good, although I could do with a bit of surf to test the handling in as many scenarios as possible.

  4. You certainly made the most of the day, 3 paddles in 1 day!
    The Puffins must be arriving any day now, still it's certainly a good excuse for a return visit.
