At sea, especially in a kayak, sudden weather changes can be serious. And off Cape Chironisi they changed, with a rising headwind and consequent waves slowing progress. And after nearly four hours paddling, we were both tiring, and running low on energy. We came together, re-fuelled on nuts, dried fruit and chocolate, and determined to push hard to regain the lee of the coastal cliffs to our west. Which we did, won through, and perversely derived enjoyment and satisfaction from the experience, a demanding half hour though it was.
