Project Nordkapp Part 6...

Just a quick post this one. A little over two years on since the last part of Project Nordkapp & I've finally done some work on her!
What you can see is the freshly applied layer of black flowcoat. Once this has dried I will have to sand (a lot!) & then buff (a lot!) to make the top deck look presentable.
After that i need to add the external hull tape over the deck joints, do some minor gel patches on the lower deck, fit a rear bulkhead & fit some footrests, seat & back rest.
I have all the parts & supplies to finish this project now so hopefully the next post wont be in another two years??? ;)
Based partly on convenience as I don't want to gel coat the hull I've chosen a simple black & white colour scheme for her. Should look good :D

Clamber On Deck Rescue Video...

                         
 I've been asked about my clamber on deck rescue a few times recently so I decided whilst I was on the water anyway I might as well show how i do it. Hope it helps ;)

Inner Space...

I've been quite busy the past week setting up the sea kayaking adventures website & feeling a little stressed & distant from the Gods so I needed a spiritual fix to reconnect with the natural World, that can only mean a pre dawn paddle to me :)
I arrived in Sully as the first fires of dawn were burnishing the distant horizon, My destination, Flat Holm was little more than a dark shadow in the distance.
I haven't paddled for a while & felt wobbly heading out through the race off Sully Island reminding me that I need to keep myself practiced for my upcoming 5 star assessment!
I left early today & the tide was flowing at 100% so I expected a little action.
Past the race & off towards the burning sky.
Flat Holm, my destination is on my left & Steep Holm is on my right. I feel totally at peace out here though the tide is ripping hard today & my photo addiction is causing me to drift!
I drift within a few feet of the Wolves buoy, not far off course as I know that I can make it from here as I've done it several times before.
The South Western tip of the Island was interesting. The tide was really ripping out of a back eddy & I had to paddle hard & use the surging waves to push me through.
Time for some sightseeing now as I've arrived early on purpose, i want to spend some time here :)


This don't look like much but is a rare plant that lives on the Island, cant remember what its called now though?
Juxtapositions keep presenting themselves to me :)


More visitors.
More juxtapositions.
Then back onto the water for the crossing to Lavernock at slack water.
It was a little slow going as their was a stiff force 3 headwind.
Leaving at slack water did let me visit Rannie Buoy though which is always nice.
The remaining paddle was uneventful though I did stop off to film a clamber on deck rescue video which will be my next post ;)
