I made this video almost two weeks ago, but I'm only just getting around to sharing it here. It covers a session we did over on the Atlantic side of the Cape Peninsula.
It was Day 2 of our camp, and we were hopeful for some good downwind conditions, but the south-southwest wind we'd hoped for didn't materialize until after we'd finished paddling. The groundswell, meanwhile, was quite impressive to this guy who lives hundreds of miles from the nearest ocean. But a Go Pro camera isn't very good at capturing the scale of such phenomena. So it's hard to tell in this video that we're doing anything that special. At least the scenery was lovely.
The music is an a cappella version of the Mothers of Invention classic "Any Way The Wind Blows," performed by the Persuasions. It's an allusion to the fact that we went ahead and paddled even though the wind wasn't blowing the way we'd hoped.
Anyway... here you go. I hope you enjoy watching this, and if you don't, at least I warned you.
