Tuesday 8th April Recreational Paddle
Now the clocks have sprung forward, and we are getting lighter evenings. It can only mean one thing, the start of the club Tuesday evenings.
As usual the rec paddle will be on the water just after 18:00. Please arrive in plenty of time to get changed and boat and kit ready. The paddle usually lasts around 2 hours and makes use of the tide and weather conditions. Its looking like being sunny with a light breeze.
To join in the rec paddle you will need to be confident paddling out in the Sound in a mix of sea conditions and able to paddle a couple of miles. The air and sea temperature are still very cold at this time of year. Please dress for cooler conditions with plenty of layers. As usual club equipment is available to use.
If you have any safety equipment, please bring it along. I would expect regular paddlers to have a survival bag and a whistle. Also bring along any other kit if you have it, first aid kits, vhf radio, towlines etc. safety kit is of no use at home and should be carried every time you paddle. As a group we always have a good selection of kit between us.
Looking forward to seeing all the regulars and some new paddlers venturing out. The Tuesday evening rec paddles are a good way of building up paddling stamina and confidence before joining in the regular longer Saturday paddles.
There will also be the club training sessions taking place on the Tuesday evenings, details will be posted by the coach leading them.
