Queued Up.

As I'd mentioned, this was clearly a very popular spot for the local paddlers (those lucky dogs). It was a lot like whitewater for sea kayakers, and just like you might see a line at a popular play spot on a whitewater river, there was a queue in the eddy here. You can also see how the eddyline broadens & becomes more chaotic as you travel "downstream" from the point that creates it (shown by the seaweed in the Kayak Smurf model on the beach) - it was fun paddling around in that swirly stuff, you really couldn't anticipate what was going to happen next, it was like the real-life version of the old swimming-pool session game where somebody stands at the stern of your boat & tries to knock you over.
