go slalom





The cargo ships dock alongside the conveyor that takes the coal to the power plant.

This conveyor is about 2km long built on huge pylons in the sea making a great tunnel for us to play in.


Today, with the sea a bit rough, and a southerly wind, playing under the conveyor and among the pylons was a good adrenalin boost.


The pylons are studded with barnacles, not a good place to capsize and get rubbed against.


Oh yes, I agree with Silbs
,you need to push yourself in order to progress, to go beyond your limits and to get out of your comfort zone.
Next week I will be in Cornwall, will have a couple of days with Jeff Allen in completely different conditions. I'm sure it will be a challenge as the Atlantic is a bit different to the Med. Stay tuned for an update

Hi!

This was a little different place to go kayaking. Seems to be some waves between the pylons.

Have a good trip to the UK and enjoy the paddling with Jeff Allen!

regards

Peter
