Dusting off the Kayak

Still stuck in and incredibly long flat spell, well, incredibly long for April anyway!! Not surfed for a week now and things aren’t looking much better for next week either. So, what to do? At least unlike most flat spells here in the UK, the weather is actually quite nice, even reached 14 degrees here yesterday! Like a lot of people here in Devon who start to go slightly mad after even just a few days of not surfing and end up resembling nothing more than a fruitcake after a week or more of not surfing, I dusted off the Kayak and went for a paddle down to the end of baggy point and back. Water was really clear; you could see the bottom 4-6 meters down, which left me optimistic in the hope of catching some fish for the BBQ. As it turns out, there were no fish, it's still a little early in the season for fishing and I caught nothing! I was passed by a large shoal or grey mullet halfway down the point but being vegi, they would have no interest in my spinner! Still, had a very enjoyable paddle, better than being stuck at work any day! Here are a few pictures of my paddle, BBQ, and the last of the surf over a week ago (just to remind you what waves actually look like!)...
