UPDATE2: The wind forecast is too strong to make this trip work. F4 gusting F5 is too high, and there isn't a suitable estuary with shelter for us to use. I will try to reorganise the trip for another weekend. I am away from24.6 to 3.7 so it will be after that.

UPDATE: the weather forecast says that Sunday will be very windy. It will need to drop quite a bit for this trip to be viable. I will update the forum no later than Friday evening on whether the trip will go ahead.

There will be a sea kayak skills session on Sunday 19 June. This session is aimed at the paddlers who are currently on the Explore SK course, and also the people who have been paddling on Friday evenings. The plan is to have a get wet session in the morning, covering support strokes, deep water rescues, self rescues, other types of rescues eg creating a stirrup. People can then finish, or we can continue in the afternoon with a journey.

You will get wet, so a wet suit or similar is recommended. The afternoon group may wish to bring dry clothes for the afternoon.

Location will be local eg Exmouth, Teignmouth etc. Decision will be made when the weather forecast is available.

More experienced paddlers are welcome to come along and assist. In particular help with transport would be appreciated.

If you wish to come along please sign up by replying to this thread, and say what you need re transport of boats
