Distance Covered:

This must have been the smallest tide of the year (7.8m) - the sea never got within 200m of the wooden posts!

Wind really gusty, cold, & slightly cross-off. Chewed the cud for ages about going out, & what to use if I did.

Deciding that it was going to be one of those days when kit choice was purely acedemic - whatever I was going to use would be wrong - and so it was.

Started off with the 6.2m Vulcan on the 110l Cross which was incredibly bouncy and mostly well overpowered. Struggled on for 1hr then - after a couple of hair-raising (yes, I HAVE still got hair!!) tail-walks - decided to change down to 5.5m on the 86l Goya. Was then underpowered! Oh well. Still good to get out again after such a long time.

Water was flat with a short chop. No swell or waves to speak of. About 7 people out.
