This weekend provided an decidely wintry feel to our adventures :)
Some great colours and contrasts for photo's as well!
Laxey was calm and sheltered as predicted, snow showers, sunshine, vivid clouds and sun patterns and a great place to enhance sea kayak skills - journeying and playing through the rocks and inlets.
The odd sorte out to the tidal races during the week - spring tides giving excitement and opening pathways usually inaccessible...
Laxey also provided some amazement at the dedication of the Balla Africa charity swim team practicing for a wetsuited relay between IOM and England during TT week 2010!http://www.ballaafrica.org.uk/fundraising-bigswim.htm
It instigated a talk amongst the paddlers on our upcoming Isle of Man Adventure Race, 26th - 27th June 2010 :)
...as much like most of the ice skating on display at the temporary rink at the Villa Marina in Douglas - some have more skill than others...

Brett and Gareth looked on great form in the snow :)

A few of us are looking forward to the sea kayaking, but hoping to poach a few of the swimmers for that element of the race weekend...

Immense fun and absolutely no control or ability to seen! :)
