Sunday 21 July Sea kayak award day UPDATED

edited July 2024 in Club Activity: Club Trips and Tours

This day will provide an opportunity for paddlers working towards the sea kayak award to practise their skills on the sea. If skills are achieved they can be recorded as part of the continuous assessment.

Priority is given to those paddlers who were not able to obtain a place on the Sea kayak award basic skills course.

Paddlers need to sort out the transport for themselves and their kayaks.

Once the venue is confirmed paddlers will be expected to bring information on the tides and weather conditions applicable to the day.
Note that the weather forecast is for some wet windy weather for Sunday, so only paddlers able to paddle in F3 winds with some swell please.
Because of the weather forecast I have reduced the numbers on this trip to 6.

UPDATE
Meet at the club at 8.00am or Kingswear slipway next to Royal Dartmouth Yacht Club at 9.15am. If possible please try to share transport as the road to the slipway is not suitable for many cars.

Helmets and towlines required. You will get wet so ensure warm clothes plus a cagoule or similar.

Forecast is still windy, plus some swell. We will start in a sheltered location and make progress out of the estuary as is reasonable. Be prepared for a blustery day where you may need to step up a level.

I have a sportive and an Atlantic LV on my car from last night’s trip. We can work boats out in the morning.

Max 6 places

    Thanks Jason for this information. Because of the weather for Sunday I have reduced the number of places to 7, now 6.

    Sorry but I have to drop out because of a last minute change in family plans for the weekend.

    Jane, I know I said I'd come in the experienced paddler role if I could, but the forecast for the Lundy charity paddle is looking promising so I think it's a fairly clear no from me. Sorry. I guess that will reinforce your decision to limit numbers. Please also note the foot peg came off the virgo Christina was using yesterday - don't load that one unless it has been fixed. I emailed recbosun.
  • Evelyn GawenEvelyn Gawen
    Hi Jane, I am not feeling 100% so I am going to have to cancel tomorrow- sorry it’s last min! Hope you all have a good paddle 👍

    Yet another great day. Lots of upside down work and rock hopping. Thanks for organising this Jane.
