I Love This...but not the sleepless nights.

No one went near the water Sunday. The forecast is below. I managed to find momentary shelter deep in the bay from these cliffs in Logy Bay. Somewhere along there it peaks out at 691 feet...a place called Flagstaff Hill atop Redcliff Head(the headland off in the distance). It's a very beautiful, dramatic, yet desolate bay only a few minutes drive from downtown St. John's. A nice undertaking for a sea kayaker, as there is no real take out for a few nautical miles of the coast, in either direction. Me?...no...Other parts yes(Flat Rock to Pouch Cove in '05. Then around Cape St. Francis in '06, from Pouch Cove to Bauline)...but no, not this section. Maybe in 2007. But as for these wind forecasts,"The horror! The horror!" (Conrad's Kurtz).
