Last Minute Island Hop...

Not a planned paddle this, I was chilling at St Brides Haven preparing for a lazy day when a familiar face turns up with a kayak on the roof of his car, it was Steve Bunston & he'd brought some mates too of which only Neil I knew.

Turns out they were headed for Skomer & I was tempted to join them so I did :)

We left St Brides Haven early'ish & onto glassy sea's. I had no time to plan anything & was loving taking a back seat leaving Steves planning to lead the way.

We enjoyed some gentle rock-hopping en route to Jack sound.

Making the crossing to Skomer. Couldn't be calmer out here & certainly no drama.

A quick discussion to discuss Steves tidal planning.
Only kidding ;)

Approaching the Mew Stone at South Haven.

Steve looking grumpy?

Razorbills & Guillimots.

A Compass Jellyfish.

Steve still looking grumpy???

Despite the Puffins.

Break time at North Haven.

With a Motley Crue.

A gentle paddle back to end a fab & unexpected day out & only my second circumnav of Skomer.
Cheers Steve ;)
