We’ve got a problem in The Cove at the moment. Bloody huge Lions Mane jellyfish are floating around. They are nasty stinging bastards with really long tentacles. I went to roll last night and just as I was about to roll over I noticed a huge patch of red about a foot under the water. I just managed to stick my paddle in the water and push myself back up at the last second. I almost kissed a jellyfish. I’ve kissed some stuff in my life, but that’s pushing it….
On a funny note, one of the beach crew – Jack the cheeky Glaswegian – played a bit of a joke on me. He put a pair of very brief red knickers (apparently they floated up on the beach) in the inside pocket of my pfd (lifejacket to you non-kayakers). Trouble is, I didn’t even know I had an inside pocket. So I never noticed. He told everybody and they’ve all been waiting for the last couple of days for something to happen. And I’ve been paddling around with a hot thong in my jacket. At the end of my lesson last night he couldn’t wait any longer and shouted over for me to look in the inside pocket of pfd. It took me a while to even find the inside pocket. Nice knickers, I’d like to know the story….
