Barry Races

Into April now and the weathers gone pear shaped again.  Strong wind forecast so myself, Jules and Taran head on down to Barry for a bit of action on the tide race that forms off Nells Point.

 ARRGGHHH there be pirates!!! Now laddies contain yourself.

From the shore it looked relatively flat and gusty but out on the headland the strong Bristol Channel currents were picking up some pretty sizeable waves.

 I love this shot, dark blue skies adding to the drama.

We land at Jacksons bay on the far side of the head.  I decided to walk back up to the head and get some shots of the guys running the race....

I jumped back in the boat for one last run then it was onto pleasure beach for a bit of surfing before returning to the cars.
