Lundy Island

I was very lucky to have the opportunity to get out to Lundy Marine Nature Reserve to do some kayaking and snorkeling last week. We boarded the Fast Cat - Obsession II at around 9:00am Sunday morning @ Ilfracombe harbour and headed out to the Island. The weather was perfect with full sun and light winds. I was dropped off at the landing bay in the south east of the Island with the plan to kayak to the North of the Island around Gannets rock. This has to be the most amazing paddles I have ever done - right through the nature reserve, with sightings of Razorbills, Black backed gulls, oyster catchers and even puffens up above on the cliffs and on the water while Seals followed the kayak checking out what was going on. Here are the photos and a video from the Trip. I would like to take the oppertunity to thank Andrew Bengey of Obsession Boat Charters for making this possible, please check out http://www.obsessionboatcharters.co.uk/ for more info and bookings.
