Surfing in Seaforth Saturday, October 13, 2007

Mike Sullivan and Murty Campbell took Barry and I for a down wind paddle on Loch Seaforth today. It's one of their favourite places to go during a stiff southerly as you can enjoy about 14km of surfing up a thin narrow loch with the wind gusting at your back. It's easy to do a shuttle so you only paddle one way and it's a pretty safe way of going out in strong winds. Today I sensed that Mike and Murty were a little disapointed that it was only about a force 6-7 but we all still had a few good surfs and enjoyed the free ride. We also saw lots of wildlife including a white tailed eagle at close quarters, a mink and an otter. My back is feeling much better today ( still a bit stiff but so much more flexible).
