Sunday 4 Feb Sea kayak touring trip update, see below

JaneEvans

There will be a SK touring trip on Sunday 4 February. High water is around lunchtime, but a very neapy tide, so we can go up an estuary and back again. At present it is looking quite windy, but this may change. If the wind drops to a max Force 2 then this would be a good trip for people who haven't paddled for a while. More than F2 then only people who have been paddling recently please.

More details nearer the time, poss on Sat evening as I am away at the end of this week.

Booked so far

It’s really quite windy tomorrow so kingswear offers the best protection. Meet 8.30 at the club or 9.45 kingswear next to the sailing club.
Please can someone confirm they will come via the club to help me with my boat. I am happy to drive.

Just looked at the forecast for Dartmouth and compared it to Exmouth. As you say the wind forecast has picked up again. We will take a look again in the morning and confirm if it is one, two or neither of us. Boats loaded and ready to go.

I am coming to the club. Would love a lift if you think I am up to the paddling….

Nigel_Sharpe

I will see you at Kingswear

Rich_Bennett

I’ll be driving from Exmouth. I already have a boat loaded but can fit one more if anyone wants a lift and can meet me somewhere on the way.

JaneEvans

A great trip. I loved the seals and all those herons and oyster catchers🙂 Thanks for arranging this Jane.

Thanks all - good paddle! - I was asked if I knew what the tower was as we went up Mill Creek, opposite the boatyards. I didn't know, but do now! It is a folly which is a listed building... see the link if interested... https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1292377?section=official-list-entry
