I really hammered myself riding in Morocco, promptly picked up a cold on my return and have been feeling rather run down ever since, it always takes time to recover from a particularly hard expedition/ride so paddling with a couple of friends today was deliberately limited to around 16km in easy conditions by way of starting to get some paddling condition back into my upper body without inhibiting my recovery. It turned out to be a proper winter day on the ocean, just fabulous… winter kayaking here always is.. the sun, when it shines…, is low, an endless procession of weather systems bring stormy weather and spectacular skies, the cliffs are dark and brooding – devoid of green, and the ocean and beaches are deliciously empty…
