More Spring Sea Kayaking

It's spring break and the weather is great. What that means is lots of sea kayaking trips for our guides. The phones have been ringing off of the hooks.
We were out again yesterday enjoying a warm afternoon. The peregrine chicks must have hatched recently. We saw the mother perched on the edge of her eyrie, which means she is no longer incubating her eggs. Although the chicks were hidden from view, it won't be long before they are shuffling about. Flowers are beginning to show as well. We are still a few warm days away from peak bloom, but with all the rain this winter we should have a good display.
Seals and porpoise were out on the west side of the island. Although the porpoise stayed away from the kayaks, we still enjoyed drifting in the current and watching the action unfold around us.
Burrows Island is such a nice place for sea kayaking. We rarely have to share the space with others.
I'd better go now, we've another trip this afternoon. We'll see you out on the water!
