BRILLIANT
very cooperative tides - not only on weekends, but also when there is still day-light ... am thrilled !!!!
and the 1st one even after the West-Wight session ...

[Kevin]

if anyone is interested i shall be heading to the medina water chute on the 17th, its 1500hrs - 1600hrs with sunset at 1630hrs its going to be a short one.

launching places are the folly (closer but you will have to paddle against the tide to get back), or IYWAC (down tide but a long paddle back).

if you are thinking of going on the club nene trip this year and have no white water experience this will be a good oppotunity to learn some basic skills.

[Kirsten - die Igelin]

You still planning to play at the IOW's bestest ever WW-spot on Sunday ? Are you setting of from Folly or Cowes ... am kinda thinking Folly ...

[Kevin]

folly sounds good shall we say on the water at 1445hrs?

[Kirsten - die Igelin]

DEAL - see you then ... REALLY looking forward to THE CUTE EXPERIENCE ... just to be on the safe side: will be wearing my water-tightest-gear (still will let drips in ...)

[Kirsten - die Igelin]

... thanks Kev for your WW coaching at THE CHUTE, was a nice Sunday afternoon - can't wait for the next one

... never asked: did your arms warm up eventually & stop aching

[Kevin]

nice pics

ah its nice to be able to post photos on the forum again

[Kirsten - die Igelin]

glad the forum works again
there's some more on FB (if you play them fast enough in your photo reader they almost look like a video-sequence)

[Kirsten - die Igelin]

[Kevin]

i think you might find there will be a LOT of white water in your 3star

[Kirsten - die Igelin]

that's what I'm hoping for ... would even prefer it if I stayed ABOVE / ON it for a change

(that's apart from the rescues etc. - one day I get a decent DRY dry-suit )

[Kevin]

Sat the 27th and sun 28th i am running a cadet leader weekend at IYWAC and i will be taking my students to the chute.

it around lunch time

Feb Sat 27th 1245-1345hrs
Feb Sun 28th 1345-1435hrs
(OMG tides)

[Kirsten - die Igelin]

[Kevin]

defo be there today Sunday 1345-1435hrs

[Kirsten - die Igelin]

... forgot to ask how it went ? any photos/videos

... we drove down your way, but then got 'sidetracked' with "manuevering in confined spaces"
... and I ended up having to reverse out inbetween the 2 long moorings (and some expensive yachts)
so was slightly 'unable' to admire your adventures, Sara mentioned bivvi-tent ?!!!!

[Kevin]

wicked, kayaks, canoes and a sea kayak it was amazing. uber spring tides
