kayaking 55:00 [3]
3 x 2.2km loops with a couple of minutes in between..
12.05, 11.58, then on the third one I stacked my boat Bob Clifford style ( http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=... ) onto a concrete block just off wrest point. The block is usually obvious above the waterline but tonight the tide was quite high so it was only just visible (in the daylight).
So in the dark rounding the point for the third time I thought I might be a bit close to where I guessed it was so steered to the left only to then go straight up and onto it (if I had stayed where I was i would have passed cleanly through in the channel between it and the sea wall). bum bum bum.
Will need to get boat repaired before going back in the water. This is going to cost 000s but it cost bob clifford millions so I guess I should be grateful..
oh yeah - straight after I refloated myself, a paddler who started in the group after me did exactly the same thing. ouch. we all knew it was there.. sigh.
