Thursday Evening Kayaking on Wednesday...
Craig, Paul and I met at Warsash on a rather dreary and blustery Wednesday evening for our regular Thursday paddle (day change this week for Mike, who didn't make it after all!!).
We togged up and paddled out into the bustle of a club dinghy race. We made our way steadily to the mouth of the Hamble, and out into Southampton Water, as did the fast-sailing dinghies. Wherever we paddled, they seemed to want to hack though.
Eventually, we got into clear water, and made our way across to the Fawley refinery terminal jetty, and continued into the calm waters and sanctuary of Ashlett Creek. We pulled up on the sailing club jetty, and stopped for a brief but enjoyable picnic. We then paddled back into the gloom, having to wait some time for a car transporter ship, then a Red Funnel ferry to pass. We then crossed back with a fair wind behind us, and made our way back to Warsash as the light faded.
Despite the gloom, we had a fine paddle.
