Sunday morning paddles from Port Erin - the training groups split into those heading for the Calf of Man, the beginners groups staying in the shelter of the bay, and immediate coastline...
Gradually increasing the challenge and skill level to match the conditions on the day, bright sun and a light on-shore wind. The beauty of having kayaks to fit the paddlers, and hull designs to allow them to learn and feel their own development, still fills me with joy every time we introduce students to sea kayaking : )
Finishing back at the beach in time for a relaxed coffee at the cosy nook, overlooking the beach. The Improver group arrived back having had an exciting journey and plenty of seals at the sound!
Try Sea Kayaking
The afternoons
'Try Sea Kayaking' sessions raised another £30 for the RNLI.
Myself and Sam also joined the Port Erin Coastguard team to win the beach tug of war between kayaking sessions... aided by inspiring yells from Jan!
The Adventure Club Intermediates headed out round the Calf to play in the tidal races, and experience a rigorous paddle in bouncy waters. All back with the sun still shining and the raft races completed.
A great day on the water, and a brilliant culmination to the weekend of fun!
