Rescheduled to Sat 8th Apr - sea kayak trip - Turf loop
On Sat 8th April, Steve and I will be running a sea kayak trip launching from the club down the river to the Turf and back up the canal. This replaces the previously-advertised Sunday/Friday Topsham trip and should give us better weather.
Meet 8:45 at the club to be on the water at 9:00 to catch the tide. Sea experience isn't required but you do need to be comfortable in a sea kayak and able to paddle 18km/11mi. This is a good introduction to longer distances and river/estuary conditions. It can be a lot colder on the estuary than the canal, so make sure you bring a wind layer and/or waterproof. We should be back by 13:30, so won't stop for lunch, but you may wish to bring a snack.
We've got space for 6-8 people (not counting leaders) as it'll also be leadership practice for me. Please sign up below and state any preference for club boats.

Do you want to go ahead if it's just us, Steve, or reschedule for another day?
Yeah, that's fine by me, I'll try and find another weekend, hopefully with a later start.
Perfect
Aim to be on the water for 9?
If it's looking a bit much, we can always either portage at Topsham (where it's a lot more sheltered) instead of Turf or even do it as a canal trip both ways.
