A quiet evening out

A warm sunny evening, so Emma and I went for a quiet paddle out to Pilot's Cove. Just before we left the beach, we were warned that "the wind is offshore, you know". Now, you will be pleased to learn that I already has some idea that this was the case. Apart from having checked the forecast, is was - how can I put this - bleeding obvious. Actually, the wind was pretty light (N2/3) - and we were in real sea kayaks (unlike the person issuing the warning), and generally well equipped. Even well offshore, the sea state was only slight.

Very pleasant paddle in the warm evening sunshine, and some fun rock hopping along the shoreline.

On the return journey, we met a couple of paddlers, heading out. She was clearly a beginner, and he was intent on fishing. They were somewhat further apart than you would have expected.

Do you think we should have told them about the wind?
