Please can everyone look up the tide times for Dartmouth, and if possible work out which way the tide will be flowing. Wind forecast and swell forecast will be useful.

Two spaces available, but please check with Martin if you have booked on his trip before switching to this trip.
Please can someone who is going to the club for 8am confirm as I will need help loading my boat.
I will also be doing another session during the Falmouth trip.

Yes if you think I'll be ready.
Hi, I will release my space, as not sure if I can make it now. Will aim to complete assessment with you on the bank holiday weekend instead Jane. Thanks
Hi, I don’t have a vehicle to transport my kayak this weekend since it’s now based at Beautiful Days for the weekend. I can get to the club by motorbike but I’ll need help to get a club kayak to the assessment site. Can anyone please give me a lift and take a kayak please?Many thanks.
Actually since I’m at a music festival this weekend I think it’s best to give up my place and defer to another time. The next person in reserve please take my place. Thanks.
I will go direct, jane please could you pick up a club towline for me thanks.
Hi I will be there tomorrow at the club at 8am to help load boats. I will bring my van and I am happy to drive. Also happy to leave van if not needed.
