East Coast Paddle Sat 31st March

[Dave]

Hi folks the trip is from Dalkey to Greystones. We will have to do a car shuttle as the return trip would be a bit long for some paddlers. High tide is approx 11:30 am.
So if we meet at 10am people can do a shuttle and we can be on the water for 11:30 which will give us an ebbing tide all the way to Greystones. Some people may only want to paddle as far as Bray, so its important that people are there on time so that we can get organised and plan what trips we are doing. We will probably stop at Bray for lunch so bring flask, food, spare clothes etc.
Any trainee coaches (instructors) coming let me know and we will try and organise an exercise for you. This way you will be able to clock up hours for your log book.

Regards

He\'s looking at 19 knots from the NE. Should be \'interesting\'...

Hi Folks, It looks like F4 to F5 from the north east on Saturday. With tide and following sea this could be interesting. We will still meet at 10 and decide what to do then. This could be a level 4+ paddle depending on conditions. However decision will be made on the morning at Bullock. If enough good paddlers show up then hopefully all should be able to participate. Remember we always have the option of pulling into Bray harbour if required. If conditions are too rough we may go out of Colimore and play in the sound.

Well done to everyone on Saturday. Very challenging conditions. Greats days paddling. Interesting going into Bray and Greystones harbours. Pity did not have the camera with me, could have got some good photos.

Great day out with good company, and great sea conditions, still smiling when I think of it now. Getting in and out of the various harbours was a bit of wow! Thanks for keeping an eye on us all.
