After three weeks of messing about in the other boat, it was well and truly time for a paddle. It turned out to be a rare occasion where Griff, Gav, Mike and I could all make it. As a short evening spin, we paddled from Lee to Stokes Bay, which passed by very quickly owing to an early east going tide close in shore.

Stokes Bay at Number 2 Battery - we stopped for a few beers in the warm evening sunshine before paddling out to Browndown Buoy and back to Lee. The wind had initially provided us with some playful waves but as dusk closed in, the wind and sea abated to nothing but a mill pond.
We were back ashore on on our way home just before darkness began to fall.
It's good to read your kayak adventures, so where are you now? I'm a frequent Solent and Portsmouth Harbour paddler so I'll be looking out for you. Brodnax (prbm@btinternet.com)
