A misty sea kayak trip

We had a delayed start this morning as we waited for students to show up. Two out of the five made it in, some citing reasonable excuses while others were a no show. The select few headed out to Mount Batten and launched at Batten Bay. We headed out to the break water and once we stuck our heads around the corner we were exposed and the full weather hit us. We were unimpressed with this and so turned and headed for a hidden beach for lunch before deciding that discretion was the better part of valour and we headed home. Great day out rock hopping and being on the sea, not much of a view tho!

BTEC Sea Kayak to Bovisand

We made the most of the fine weather and calm sea, heading out from Mount Batten and along the coast to Bovisand for lunch on the beach. After a surf we headed back along the rocky shore, poking our noses, and kayaks, into more rock gardens before practicing rescues. What a brilliant day out!

A bit wet but a brilliant time sea kayaking

It did rain the whole time, but it didn't dampen our enthusiasm and we found plenty of rocks to play among, with an ever increasing level of challenge. Despite our best efforts, neither of us managed to fall out until the end, when we did so on purpose. 

Paddling at Batten Bay

It rained, but no one noticed, it was windy, but no one noticed; we had a great time paddling (and swimming!)
