Mylor Harbour to Porthbeor

What a change from our last day out on the water. Warm and sunny with a light WNW wind. Great visibility and although there was a small swell, very little in the way of waves. The majority of the bird life was sunning itself and anything up to four seals were seen fishing their way across the coast.

Between us, Kevin and I managed to sort out most of Cornwall's socio-economic and educational problems so now all we have to sort out is how to complete the second half of our kayak rolls!
