Sea Kayak Explorers Trip - Saturday 14th March - Cancelled

Whilst the murk and drizzle is likely to continue all week, the forecast is currently showing clearer weather on Saturday however there looks to be a residual swell following the high winds now forecast on Thursday and Friday. As such my plan is to now stay in the Estuary only.

The provisional plan is to meet at Salcombe North Sands car park at 10.30am with an aim to be on the water by 11.00 High tide is at circs 2.30pm and we are on neaps so no need for an early start. We will head up river to explore all the creaks with the aim to get to Kingsbridge at high tide. We will then come directly back to Salcombe with the falling tide. For anyone needing a club boat this will mean loading up at 8.45and heading out by 9.15

This is a good opportunity to build your paddle fitness for the season. The pace will be moderate. The aim is still to be off the water and packed up by 4.00pm and back in Exeter for 5.30.

All your normal cold water kit and and packed lunch. The sea temperate is still cold.

Please indicate your interest below so that I can work out if the trip is still viable.

  • I would like to join you

  • If anyone else wants to sign up on a provisional basis this will be fine. Yesterday the forecast looked good for this trip. The current forecast would make this trip unviable with 25kt gusts and 1.9M swell. I will continue to monitor through the week. For keen weather watchers who might be waiting to see the forecast before signing up. Please do not worry. The trip will only go ahead if the conditions match the trip objectives.
  • I have updated this trip to be an estuary exploring trip only. The updated forecast is still showing a 2M swell in the mouth of the Estuary. The wind is moderate so we should still be ok in the Estuary
  • Trip cancelled.
