Schooner Cove, Spain Bay and Norman Cove

We woke this morning to a soft grey morning with low cloud and super still air. The forecast was for high winds and rain. A few brave souls headed for Spain Bay for a morning of collecting mostly micro plastics in the beautifully protected beach. The soft clouds and occasional squalls passing allowed us the privilege of listening to the birds and the gentle wash of the waves. 

While we were on the beach, Dave and Harry provided a masterclass in wingfoiling, enthralling us as we looked up from the sand.

While the team were on Spain Bay, the boat team headed for Norman Cove, where the swell was building throughout the day, and it was more exposed to the wind and rain. It was a rough trip for 4 bags of rubbish including a printer cartridge for a total of 601 pieces. Spain Bay yielded 6 bags of rubbish including carpet, a lego wheel and a range of clothes pieces for a total of 7743 pieces. The weather closed in the late afternoon so the boats rafted up for the count and a early night.
