Sea Kayaking in Nova Scotia - 25 to 30knt wind

Here's Peter and I coming back from a precautionary rescue we had to perform tonight. The winds are blowing hard, and the sea was ugly.




Please note that we are both trained professionals and were responding to distress. Never paddle in a sea state that is beyond your level of experience, and certification. You should NEVER go out recreational kayaking in these conditions.

The holy shit moments only start to happen about 4m15sec into the video. The first few minutes is setting up through a more sheltered area, planning how to head out into the rough stuff. When we clear that last island, the sea starts to spray! Unfortunately 5 minutes in , I think i hit the camera accidentally, and turned off the video. First minute of the vid is just setting up the camera on my PFD
