HOMEWARD BOUND
It seems these freaky fortresses attract some weird and wonderful characters and now we were the latest on the list. Now, during his illustrious career, Nik has sailed the likes of Jaws, indoor pools in various cities and beaches all over the world, but even he had to admit that sailing around these rusty towers was one of his most surreal windsurfing experiences to-date. After an hour or so of Nik sailing all around the Forts plus Jay attempting to traverse the chop and paddle right up to the pylons on his SUP, even our boat driver Kev was warming up to our mission and perhaps realising that we were not the complete and utter lunatics he had suspected. The only problem now was that Kev was starting to look a little worried as he switched fuel tanks. Unbeknown to us, the heavy load had burned much more diesel than Kev had calculated and now he was scratching around with a nervous look on his face with some dubious looking empty fuel tanks in the back of the boat. The boat eventually spluttered into life and we headed back, cautiously relieved and stoked to hit land an hour or so later. Now that was an adventure!
