Open boat trip June 17

I am looking to run a trip on Sunday June 16 up to Topsham in open boats.

Many of you have said on a club night you dont get past blue bridge, so we will go to blue bridge, port to the estuary and then head up to Topsham. Lunch at the quay then paddle back either via the estuary or canal.

Wheels would be a good idea for the portage if you have them.

(This is the day after the kayak rally)

If you are interested please post below.

    Suitable for those who have just done their 2 star.

    Looking to leave the club at 9ish. Paddle to blue bridge, port onto the estuary (high tide about 10.20) paddle down to Topsham moor up by the lighter inn and have lunch.

    If you have a sail and want to try it out feel free.

    We then have 3 options, (to be decided on the day)
    1. paddle back down the estuary (slack tide?) And maybe pole the last bit before crossing back to blue bridge
    2. Paddle back down estuary to countess weir and cross to canal
    3. Cross to taxi landing and port to canal

    Club has some sails in the filing cabinet in Maclaines: they are old optimist sails.

    Looks like it should be less windy tomorrow (if not will have to rethink things). I have put a spare set of wheels in shed for portage.

    See you tomorrow.
