To a Pub by Kayak.

Sometimes it's not until you do something that the enormity fully hits home! A true sea kayak needs move throu the water efficiently - that means a long water length hull which in reality means a kayak that is at least 16 ft long. That doesn't sound like much till it's on the roof of your car...


So having relieved The Bread Bin of a Capella 166 it was time to go try it out. The chosen voyage was paddle around Milford Haven. A further incentive was The Old Point House @ Angle


Dale was the chosen 'put in' - well to be precise a free lay-by near by. After much faffing, I was good to go...


Well almost... When checked the position of the foot pegs, the RHS was completely off the track - no worries, just click it back on... 20 mins later i was hot & sweaty, the pegs was still hanging free and tide was well past us!? Time to drag the kayak 20m back and think!? The answer was to remove the track - which reqd an Allen Key - of the size normal found on a MTB tool which own but it was 40 miles away. Time for some tywrap bodging!?


With the peg fixed, we were off...








After a pleasant paddle inc some ferry gliding I rock up at the The Point House


After a pint it was time press on...








Eventually it was head down paddle back towards Dale into the west wind - despite the be assurances of the Milford CG, that the wind would would be Easterly?!?
