Grey skies but light winds


Approaching Megstone






Some dive boats around


Approaching Longstone




About 5 miles offshore


A 'litter' of boats ?




Am I bovvered ?



Lion's mane jellyfish



Guillemots galore



And somewhere in there Cormorants, Shags and the odd Razorbill


Puffins




And there's more, what a spectacle ! Shame about the gloomy weather but it didn't spoil it







Some flow and a little lumpy across Staple Sound to 'the Kettle'


Where we were met by many seals, excited to see us



The last leg back across Inner Sound was a slog against the flooding tide


Distance paddled about 19.5k
