A short stroll along the Slapton coast to see the semi resident humpback whale which hopefully is taking up a residency over the forthcoming spring and summer. His/her speciality is 'breaches' which do seem rather spectacular when seen from the cliffs along Hallsands.
Recently our cetacean friend made national news by getting caught in one of the lobster pots off Beesands but all is well thanks to British Divers Marine Rescue Unit and the RNLI and some local fishing boats.
Of course, with the sun shining for the first time and spring in the air, we forgot to check the forecast. I know. I know!
Say nothing!!

We're out of practice or is it just careless with the weather too, hint of sunshine and not a thought about wind strength, probably not as bad as where you were but we had a hard cycle north to windward along the Salterns trail around Chichester harbour .

Still, it must beat pumping and sponging out Arwen!

Did it beat pumping out Arwen...sort of. Although I find it sometimes tedious, it does reacquaint me with my boat during the winter months. And yup, definitely out of practice. Every year I forget everything and have to start again...sail trimming, navigation, passage planning. Ho hum!
