Cardiff Bay 28 11 09

Saturday, January 24, 2015

I was hoping the forecast of a force 7 to 8 may

be wrong as the skys were blue and there didnt

seem to be any wind. So I packed up my boat

and drove on down to my local bay. No chance!

So I opted for a very calm and settled paddle down

at Cardiff Bay.

I went down to my usual launch site on the River Taff

but was sent away. Due to the high river levels lately

the river was full of rubbish and was in the process of

being cleaned, however I think this might have had

something to do with the body that was found further

up river. So I went over the bridge to the River

Ely.

It was a case of dodge the log!

The Barrage, supposed to look like sails of a boat from a

distance.
