[[File:Sheppey2.jpg|left|400px]] Here's a picture of the route. We paddled 10.0NM in 4 hours 29 minutes, which was a good speed of over 2 knots given the force 4 winds against us for lots of the way.

Julianc:

With F5-6 winds forecast, it seemed like the perfect day to set out to the
south coast for a spot of gentle sea paddling!

Those more experienced of you, and probably everyone else will have spotted
a slight divide between our keenness to be on the sea vs. all out at sea
(without a paddle, boat and dignity). Luckily we had a wise leader and
coach with a plan B and we found some oxbow lakes to experiment with
'paddling a sea kayak in less than ideal conditions'. Even the waves in the
oxbows were tough, but we ploughed on - and in and out of the boat trying
to get back in, drawing a comment from a passing 10 year old of "why do you
lot keep falling in?" By the end we were feeling confident in our knowledge
of what we didn't know, and raring to take the opportunity of (placid,
calm, sheltered) conditions at the basin to work on some minor holes in our
experience!

Thanks to Liz, Terry and Julian for their coaching and patience, and
everyone for making it such a fun day.

Sussex Coast Sea Trip - 24 June 2012

2012-07-19T21:26:04Z

Julianc:

With F5-6 winds forecast, it seemed like the perfect day to set out to the
south coast for a spot of gentle sea paddling!

Those more experienced of you, and probably everyone else will have spotted
a slight divide between our keenness to be on the sea vs. all out at sea
(without a paddle, boat and dignity). Luckily we had a wise leader and
coach with a plan B and we found some oxbow lakes to experiment with
'paddling a sea kayak in less than ideal conditions'. Even the waves in the
oxbows were tough, but we ploughed on - and in and out of the boat trying
to get back in, drawing a comment from a passing 10 year old of "why do you
lot keep falling in?" By the end we were feeling confident in our knowledge
of what we didn't know, and raring to take the opportunity of (placid,
calm, sheltered) conditions at the basin to work on some minor holes in our
experience!

Thanks to Liz, Terry and Julian for their coaching and patience, and
everyone for making it such a fun day.
