Above is the site of my demise đ. Well it canât be all that bad, look how amazing this place is.
You can see another kayaker in this picture, there were two of them hanging around the entrance to this cave. They hadnât quite mustered up the courage to venture in, beacuse as the cave narrowed any swell entering intensified.
Me being me, thought well its a calm day shouldnât be hard and whatâs the worst that can happen?
I paddled toward the darkness not knowing exactly how far back it went, but ended up not being too deep and had a little bit of sand I could get out and stand on.
Due to some swell coming in and washing my kayak around, I decided not to stay there long. Time to try and get back in the kayak and paddle out backwards as i couldnt turn around my 12ft kayak. And this is the bit where I get wet!
Well Iâm not letting a little wetness slow down my adventure, so I climbed back in the kayak and set off to find a new cave. This next cave was the largest of them all, not as long as my favourite cave but very tall and the water was deeper.
There were a few fish swimming around but none bigger than 30cms. I paddled back to where i started having had a great adventure kayaking into caves.
This was the 3rd and final post of a series of 3. You are welcome to find the other parts if the adventure here:
