For those on the beginners / intermediate sea kayak course, who haven't yet been on the sea, or would prefer a gentle introduction before signing up for one of the many club trips, I'm running a beginners-friendly sea paddle on Saturday 11 May.
The itinerary will depend on who signs up, and what you'd like to get out of the day. It can be anything from an introduction to sea paddling, rock hopping, skills coaching if anyone wants, or a gentle journey. The purpose of the day is to extend your experience beyond the canal, and to give the basic skills and confidence to join other trips.
The forecast is for a sunny, calm day, so a perfect introduction to the sea.
We'll launch from Kingswear and will match the logistics of the other trip: meet at the club for 8:00, aiming to be at Kingswear by 9:00.
Bring lunch, paddling gear (remember that although the air will be warm, the water is still cold). Kit information is available here:

Hi Rachel, you're welcome to the space.
If people want to come but lack transport, make your interest known in the comments. We're (purposely) launching from the same place as the other trip so may be able to find boat space on those cars.
I can transport a boat myself if needed, and have room for another if required.

Baa, yes that is fine, room for you and a boat
