Born Again Kayaker...

Chris Kitch was putting the feelers out a few days ago looking for people to paddle Barry to Penarth on the weekend. Sounded good to me so we made the arrangements & met up at Penarth to leave a couple of cars there for our return.
The start point was Barry old harbour again :)
 I'd brought my newest lady for a play!
 My shipmates consisted of Chris Kitch, John Petty & Steve Pearce who hasn't paddled for the past year!
Nice to see him back on the water :)

 I think the unnatural angle of Chris' skirt indicates he's excited about something???
 Steve prepares to enter the choppy waters after a years abstinence.
He does well & we soon reach Nells Point with a good force 4 on our backs.
 Passing Barry Dock/Harbour.

 Sully Island was awesome in the West Side race with chaotic waves just over head height! I was the only one to go that way though, the other opted for a portage across the causeway which was a good idea.
Before long we were all back at Penarth in the now calm waters on this East facing shore :)
