Although this is the closest stretch of coast to where I live, it seems to have been quite some time since I last spent a day exploring this area of Jersey so it was a real pleasure to be on the water on Saturday.
This is a section of the Jersey coast, which I have paddled hundreds of times but there is always something to discover whatever the season.
Paddling into a feature which we known as Junkyard Gully. At the rear of the inlet there is a large blow hole into which was thrown a lot of scrap metal and cars in the 1930's and 40's.
Laurie passing to the south of Corbiere Lighthouse, which marks the south west corner of the island. There was a bit of swell around and some tidal movement but it was a relatively calm day.
Heading south past Corbiere after stopping for lunch in the reefs to the west of La Pulente. A bit chilly but it is October.
Louis looking as if he is having a good time.
Louis and Rachel playing in the small race which was developing to the west of Corbiere.
Along this section of coast there are some many great jumping spots. This flat topped rock is at Gorselands. Laurie is in mid air whilst Simone is considering his options.
Just before Beauport we were able to take a short cut through the reef at the Grosse Tete. This is known as Conger Gully, mainly because of the stories we tell younger people when out coasteering along this section of coast.
