This is my view returning home on a Friday evening in late September. Conditions were a little rough for a single handed trip and the weather was getting worse, growing wind, a fair swell and the seas getting larger and more ominous the further I went.

I was timing it to reach the west coast during the golden hour as there would be a fair chance this may be my last opportunity for a sunset at sea this year.

This picture was taken at the time I decide to turn back. The sea shown here isn't particularly bad but in 15 minutes I reach a point called Corbiere which is notorious and I can tell from the sea here that it's going to be very rough at Corbiere. If I get there and it's too rough, it can be very dangerous to try to turn around, especially single handed so I decide to turn back here and try again the following morning. As a bonus, I ended up capturing the 'Onlooker' shot later that evening for the single light source challenge.
