At last our level 3 training weekend has arrived! We met in Dunmore East and paddled from Dunmore East to Hook Head to Loftus Hall Beach(?) and back - total 9.7miles.
Pat and Alan both got their new boats (Tsunami 160 and Tempest 165) and took them out for the first sea trials! Conditions weren't too bad with a bit of a swell in the estuary particularly on the Hook side. Heading back towards Loftus Hall most people managed to catch some nice waves. We stopped for lunch at beach by Loftus and practised our surf landings. It was a bit of a laugh launching in dumping waves for the first time. Joe seemed to attach half a kelp bed to the deck of his kayak. By the time we got back to Dunmore the 3:30 slump had kicked in (although by now it was 4:30) and everyone was pretty tired. We did our strokes and wet sessions and a good day was had.
Looking foward to a good nights sleep and more tomorrow.
