I will need a club boat again so am I supposed to pick this up from the club shed and bring it to Orcombe point? I've never transported a sea kayak on my car before so could do with some advice/help if this is the case - if 2 can go on top of roof bars of an Audi A3 then I'm happy to also transport another boat if anyone needs that.
David, if you can come help load at the club (I'll be there just after 5ish) then I can take your boat on my rack as well this week. It'll be my first time transporting them too, but I've done a run through with MikeB so should be all set.
Christina - if David can help me load then I'll just pick up a BA for you.
The kayaker was rescued because he was carrying a marine radio...so another safety message there.
Apparently we missed dolphins in our vicinity last night. That would have been the icing on the cake for a great evening last night. Thanks all
Hi. Please could somebody help me transport an LV kayak, short paddle, medium helmet, m/l BA and size 6 spray deck again this Tuesday? I think I can get to the club about 5:15 to help load. Thanks.
Kwinten and I have a spare scorpio LV on each of our cars, these can be allocated to Christina and Tina. Also I have paddles, helmets, BA, decks and towlines for each of you. I will be going direct to the venue. Christina please can you provide Tina with a lift.
Location for Tuesday 29 June: Polly Steps at Teignmouth. To get to Polly Steps you go through Teignmouth Docks and out the back where there is a small boatyard and slipway. TQ14 8ES. Aim to be there as soon after 6.15pm as possible.
Jane, I had arranged to take Tina plus a boat for her. If she isn't going to be there can anyone put a boat on their car for me or will there be anyone at the club to help me load?
Tina, if you're meeting Christina at the Quay anyway can you still help me load my boat please? Otherwise I'll have to give it a miss this week as I can't load it myself
Caroline and Tina
Sorry to mess you around. As you are going to the club please can you collect two boats for you two. I can then provide the boat on my car to James R who will joining us this evening as well. If you are having to choose between a larger boat and the avocet please can you bring the avocet. We can shuffle the boats around once we arrive so that the smaller people have the smaller boats.
Thank you Mike for getting the LV back in use at very short notice.
@JaneEvans thanks for Tuesday, which was fun. I particularly liked the opportunity to play around the flow at the bridge and would be happy to do more of that at some point, possibly at a faster point in the tide. If that's not feasible in the course I guess it will turn up some time or other.
If there's room can someone take a boat for me this week please as Tina's not coming. (If there's no room I can take my own and another boat as long as someone can help load, though need to know by Mon pm) Thanks.

Hi Caroline
Please can you bring a spraydeck and a towline for Christina as well as the BA. I have a paddle and helmet for her.
Thanks everyone for a great session yesterday - very enjoyable and I learnt useful new things. Interestingly, I spotted this article today which shows why sea kayakers need to learn how to get back into their boats: https://www.devonlive.com/news/devon-news/dad-three-almost-dies-trying-5556603

Tina, looks like we're back to the original plan - see you at the club at 5pm.
They are my keys. I don't need them this evening. Can I collect them from you tomorrow morning?
