- It was a beautiful day to explore this wonderful part of our coast, leaving pretty little Lee Bay - passing Bull Point Lighthouse, and making a brief landing on Rockham Beach...a very welcome break!
The area around the lighthouse is a rock-lover's paradise, a fantastic maze of out-of-this-world rock formations and colour...I could have spent much longer there!
The whole length of this coast is a minefield of rocks...sharp pointy rocks everywhere! Either poking above the sea, or just beneath - a danger for me, as my motor being knocked off (which it is designed to do upon impact) is not what I want without a nearby beach needed to re-attach the motor. While there are a few beaches along this stretch of coast, I prefer to avoid having to do this.
Then, it was on to see the seals, which lay about on rocks near Morte Point.
My apologies for the out of-focus footage of them from my phone-cam. I included them as those from the action-cam make them appear to be much further than the forty to fifty feet I was away from them.
Morte Point certainly lives up to the derivation of it's name...it spelt disaster and death to many a sailor and ship in the more distant past. Smugglers apparently (as elsewhere) would lure the boats onto the rocks. Morte Point is ideal for this purpose!
A beautiful and calming experience! You are showing an amazing rock formation!
@@annebatchelor452 Thanks!
With my videos, I am trying to show, as faithfully as possible, the wonderful experience of kayaking (or SUP-boarding) along parts of our beautiful coast.
Yes, some of the rock formations along this stretch of the coast are pretty awesome.
Great footage, the rock formations look stunning. Always great to see seals too. Must get down there some time to paddle that coastline
Thanks @TheKayakCrew!
Yes, that coast is indeed stunning, I must say.
The weather is preventing me from getting back there right now!
There are two or three more trips there I want to do…
