Xmas CSK Paddle

Elaine Mullan from Celtic Sea Kayakers (CSK) put an invite up on the ISKA bulletin board for their Xmas paddle meet in Dunmore East. I contacted Elaine and decided to go along. Joe, Pat and Paul couldn't make it as they were either abroad or too busy finishing off fitted kitchens! Invite on bulletin board asked people to bring along mince pies - tried in Tesco this morning and not a mince pie in the house - hopefully Elaine won't send me home!
Arrived in Dunmore and the water was flat which was surprising since the forecast wasn't great. A total of seven turned up for the paddle and we headed West past Portally towards Ballymacaw where we stopped for lunch. Other people had mince pies so I'm the hook! Conditions were glorious and you wouldn't think from the photos this was a Xmas paddle.
We got back to Dunmore, loaded up the boats and headed for cappuccinos. This was a very nice social gathering and I really look forward to paddling again with this group. Hopefully the next time more of the lads will be able to make it.
