The advertised 'action' in a previous post is bang on schedule as I've just won an Ebay auction for a sea-going craft. Don't get too excited as it's tiny but ideally suited to my needs. No roof rack on the car so length a major factor as is weight.
The last time I took to the waves was many a year ago when I launched my surf canoe from Maidencombe cove late one afternoon. I paddled with ease out towards Babbacome beach some two kilometres away but then had a nasty shock when I turned for home.
The wind and tidal current were against me and it was an exhausting paddle to get back in fading light. When I did beach there was the fearsome climb up the steep steps carrying the heavy canoe.
Good adventure though it was, I never attempted 'putting to sea' again.
Stay tuned for 'Bluebird Sails Again' - coming to a blog near you shortly ... sigh
