Friday evening's paddle from Laxey was spectacular, with expansive rolling cloud formation imprinted across the silky water, 
on which we paddled.
The slight tinge of pink creeping in and growing more evident as the evening drew to a close...
The weekend produced conditions and an ideal excuse for getting the playboat fleet on the water, and practicing a few manoeuvres. Newcomers to the Adventure Club were introduced to the theory elements of tides, navigation from a sea kayak and trip planning (dry and warm in our modern lecture room)
and those who desired excitement found that in abundance at Fenella beach!
Roar of surf in your ears and rush of adrenaline as you accelerate down the wave...
and what happens next is anyones guess!
Woke this morning with hot sunshine again! The essence of last nights rainfall hanging in the air, amplifying every sound
(especially the high pitched cheeping of newly hatched clusters of fluffy chicks) around the clucking mother hen, some scratching for grubs whilst others lay sprawled in the self-made dust baths.
Living in Patrick has many benefits, peace and serenity being high on the list :)
