With the Inshore Shipping Forecast predicting Force 4 or 5 winds increasing to Force 6 - Force 8 I launched from a very calmer Porthsele than yesterday.
Tracy braved the mud on the coast path to accompany me as far as St John's Point taking photos along the way.
The closer I got to St John's Point the more noticeable the remnants of the last few day's large seas became.
Reaching St John's Point I lose any shelter I had from the still pretty strong wind and Tracy also decides to call it a day and heads back to Pencarnan.
I play around in the tide stream at the next headland along from St John's and after a while the sun has disappeared and a menacing bank of black cloud is approaching.
Paddling into St Justinian I am greeted by 2 seals having a nap on a large rubber float, a lot more comfortable than a rocky beach.
There was no shelter to be had at St Justinian so I begin my paddle back to Porthsele accompanied by a heavy rainstorm.
The rain followed me all the way back to Porthsele with it getting very dark, hard to believe I had left here earlier in bright sunshine.
Only a short paddle taking advantage of a small break in the weather to get a last paddle in the Nordkapp to end a great week of Sea and Surf Kayaking.

Well, what a week eh? I'm glad I didn't stay later to get a paddle in!
