“7 kayaks set off from the lifeboat station on Roa Island,with Rob leading the way. The low tide meant quite a long carry over the stony beach. Although the sky was threatening, it mostly remained dry. We passed Piel, & continued round to Bass Pool. There Geoff & Jamie both practised tipping out & re-entry. We then continued south along the S Walney coast. We were rewarded by being escorted by about a dozen seals, who played at diving just in front or behind our boats. Flocks of oyster-catchers took off & filled the sky. Heading north, we came ashore on Piel for a drink & a bite, making use of the tables outside the Ship Inn. We aimed off to counter the incoming tide as we crossed the shipping channel, & were soon back at the lifeboat station.”
