Kayak Journal - Meon Shore to Warsash

Thursday 17th April 2008

With Griff and Gav, we left the beach and headed west on a rising tide with a steady force 5 from the east. With the sea generally behind us, we all enjoyed a bit of surfing past the Chilling cliffs and Solent Breezes, rounding the corner into the mouth of the Hamble. This two mile stretch too about forty minutes and having found a little shelter from the wind, Gav extended his breakfast menu, amazing us with sausage baps.

After a good break, probably most of an hour,we made the return leg. The wind had now built up to a good force six gusting seven, still from the east but providing us with some strenuous paddling back to the cars, with steep seas and enough wind to take the paddle from your hand if you relaxed too much. A great experience for us all.

We had a good laugh at each other once back ashore, all of us encrusted with salt in every crease of our faces.
