D62: Morecambe Bay, Blackpool, Ribble Estuary

Long,long day.
Piel island is a friendly community of outsiders.
Alex the able boatman helped me get on the water while we talked of nuclear transport and being trapped in the tip of South America during COVID.

The Blackpool bypass was magical.
I took the bold decision to cross the Ribble estuary as the light faded. Having crossed the 500m to above the tideline with two heavy bags I had a hard time relocating Delelmza on the return to the sea in the rapidly waning light.
