Kayaking: May Long Weekend Indian Rock to Rattlesnake Island 2012

Kayaking trip to Rattlesnake Island, started off with a head wind from the North and continued all weekend. We managed to make it as far as Buchan Bay and enjoyed the sunset then in the morning the wind picked up again, but to cross Squally Point with a strong head wind wasn't wise so we aborted the plan to continue and turned back after the night at Buchan Bay. Nevertheless it was an enjoyable trip by all. Lots of great photos and video clips to squeeze into this video but was unable to get them all in. Check my LIVE BLOG post for more.

We all got wet from the cold water from the waves. Kathy gets Splash Over recorded in Time Laps, LOL
