Tuesday 3 August 2021, Sea Kayak Trip
Sorry for the late posting, the garden was demanding attention yesterday!
Conditions look good for a trip out from Brixham tomorrow. Wind will be noticeable from the south west so we can assess on arrival whether we will spend our day in the bay or venture round Berry Head towards Dartmouth and do some rock hopping etc. It will be neap tide so weak but with us both ways.
Meet 0900 at Maclains to load boats, 1000 at Freshwater Quarry Car Park, Blackball Lane, Brixham TQ5 8BA.
High tide is 1426 and wind is forecast to be from the South West so we should be sheltered from it in Torbay. Swell is forecast less than 2 feet, which is as low as the forecast goes.
Those still wanting more can be ready for the club Tuesday evening session at 1815.
Bring your usual paddling kit and lunch.
Parking is supposed to be payable by cash or card although sometimes the card machine doesn't work. Toilets on the quay in Brixham are a short walk from the car park and cost 30p, think it's coins or card.
I can take my own and 2 additional sea kayaks on my car. Of course, help loading and unloading is necessary!
Who is coming?
Comments
I would like to join you. I would rather go straight there, but will keep an eye on the forum to see if you need extra help with boats, in which case, I will come to the Club
Thanks for the offer of help with boats Nigel.
If no one needs me at the club, I will use my Scorpio, which is stored at home, and go straight to Brixham, it's better for rock hopping anyway.
Good plan - I will use my Scorpio as I haven't paddled it for a couple of years.
Hi Caroline, - a full house of Scorpios then!!! Thanks for messaging me confirming that you have kit, and will see us there.
Thanks for your concern and comments Nigel. I was pretty sure Caroline has her own kayak and kit but good to have confirmation.
