Paddled today as the conditions were easing. We paddled quite cautiously as there were still willy whores. Got hit by one but just bent down in our boats and braced into them and it was ok but paddled faster to get across the bay. We waited a bit at lunch for conditions to ease a bit more an once we got across to the bird sanctuary island we had a strong tail wind.
