It was just 07:12 am when we rounded
Stranny Point at the SW corner of Ailsa Craig and...
...came to the
Water Cave.
The air was thick with sea birds and if anything, the smell...
...of guano was even stronger first thing in the morning than the evening. We were surrounded by constant plops in the water raining down from above.
It was unusual to see the sun break out to the ENE as we rounded the north end of the island at Bare Stack.
When we usually paddle round the island in the afternoon we expect the sun to be coming round the other end of Bare Stack to the SW.
After the north foghorn we came to the old tramway which we followed...
...back to the lighthouse. It was still just 07:34 am yet we had just enjoyed a paddle round what must be one one of the world's finest seakayaking destinations.
One should maybe consider a gas mask when passing large colonies of birds? ;)
ReplyDeleteIndeed so Miamaria, preferably a gas mask with a built in broad brimmed hat :o)
