our 4th launch was in Marazion, Sounth West Cornwall

There's a small tidal island in west Cornwall called St Michael's Mount. At low tide, the island is walkable from the beautiful town of Marazion. To launch our kayak, we went there when the tide was high. Because we were facing the wind, it took us 35 min to paddle from where we parked to the nearest point of the island, and 25 min back. It was great fun!! After exploring in the sun for 4 hours, I am TAN now :)

Kayaking

Summer is the most exciting time in Cornwall: lovely sunshine, blue sky, wild flowers, golden beaches, juicy fruits... and of course it's boating time ^0^
This is how I look (a bit silly? I know, haha) when the Cornish weather allows me to have an adventure:
It has been 3 times since this spring. Fingers crossed that the coming Sunday is a sunny and no-wind day, so it could be launched again for St Michaels Mount :)
