I had a great paddle with my neighbours this morning out and about near the Spit.  It was a breezy morning but enjoyable with a paddle around the marina and out past the red bridge to the dead trees.  

 























Alan, who is an amazing photographer, was fascinated by the multitudes of cormorants nesting in the trees and took many photos.  By the time we headed back across the bay, the wind and waves had picked up a great deal and we had to work to get back to shore but it made for a great workout and a great morning.  I hope to get Alan and Amanda out again soon.
