Sea Kayak Trip Saturday 16th - Exmouth - Sea and Estuary

edited October 2021 in Club Activity: Club Trips and Tours

If anyone would like to get in some sea paddling before the autumn weather really started to kick in I will lead a trip out of Exmouth on Saturday. The weather forecast is quite changeable at present but Saturday morning is currently looking stable with the wind and sea state building over the weekend and feeling like autumn next week. If the conditions remain stable we can head round to Budleigh or beyond. If the wind is picking up we can spend the morning off Exmouth and then follow the wind and tide up to Topsham. I will leave a car in Topsham so that we have the option of a car shuttle back to Exmouth.

Meet Exmouth lifeboat station at 9.30 on the water for 10.00.

Back on the beach or Topsham recreation ground at 2.30.

Bring lunch and warmer clothes.

If we get any sun this weekend it should be Saturday morning.

    Thanks Jane - I had not spotted this. We will be launching downstream of No 10 buoy and outside of the channel so no need to change our plan. We can however get close to the course to watch a couple of races.

    Kwinten If you don’t want to go into Exeter to pick up a boat, just come via my place and borrow my older red boat. I think you might have used it once before?

    Hi, I may be able to join you as well hopefully, will confirm later or in the morning.
  • OwenMichaelsonOwenMichaelson
    Fiona. No issue. We should be in Exmouth by 9.30 or just after. We can look at the conditions when we get there to decide if we want to stay on the coast or head into the estuary to chase the tide in the afternoon. My number is 07917658049 if you need to text me in the morning.
