We
realised we wouldn't make it past the race so we dropped back and
headed into Parliament cave for lunch, where the local seals kept
an eye on us.
And
Paul took a short swim ;-)
Of
course, being a fully paid up member of the third saturday paddle
catering corps, I was able to bring out a delicious birthday cake
and candle for Bertie bunny. (Though if on a real third Saturday paddle
this would have been freshly prepared on the beach).
We
celebrated Bertie's birthday and thanked him for the coaching and
training he had given us over the last 6 months.
Paul
may not have lost any hats on this trip thanks to our much practiced
hat rescue techniques, but this is the last he saw of his sunnies.
