'Nuff said....

Friday evening jaunt to Sword Sands by a posse of paddlers for a natter and dip. No group shots 🤷‍♀️

When paddling, sailing, the cadet section and eclipse chasing combine! 😎

A great evening at the sands last night.

So many people there! It was lovely to see the children and adults looking through the special glasses at the sun - a few 'wow' moments.

Many thanks to those who shared the glasses and the experience.

🌅 Another lovely evening on the water! 🛶

Nine of us headed across to Eastney, expertly guided by our wonderful Linda. We pulled up on the beach behind the RNLI and ferry to go and have a look at the big red boat — because obviously, no paddle is complete without a little bit of exploring! 🚢

Two of our group turned back just before we arrived… although exactly why they abandoned the mission remains a matter of some debate between grandad and grandson! 😂 We’ll leave them to sort that one out!

Thankfully, Bill came prepared with biscuits, which were very gratefully received — proof, if any were needed, that biscuits are an essential part of any successful paddle. 🍪

Thanks everyone for another brilliant evening. There really is no better antidote to a busy day than getting out on the water, having a laugh and enjoying some great company. ❤️

Same time next week…? 😉

Horse sand fort race today. Thanks to Denise Moore for the photos.

🌊 A glorious afternoon paddle to the Ferry Boat Inn! 🛶☀️

We set off for lunch at the pub, heading via Sinah Sands. The paddle out was a little choppy, thanks to a sudden increase in wind and some wind over tide, but it certainly added to the adventure! The kayak captain had suggested a leisurely paddle so we didn’t get to the harbour channel too early ……

Our route took us there and back via Sinah Sands, with a paddle through the middle of the historic Mulberry Harbour along the way. A few members even took the opportunity for a refreshing dip in the water! 🏊‍♀️. Many commented that we could have been in the Med 😎

A special mention to Hilary, who cycled/ferry all the way from Southsea to Hayling Island to join us! 🚲👏

The journey home was much easier, with the tide behind us making for a lovely, relaxing paddle back.

Thanks to everyone who came along and helped make it such a lovely afternoon. Great company, plenty of fun and another brilliant Tudor adventure! 💙

Yesterday was our annual round Hayling cruise. The forecast was for light winds but it turned out to be a lovely day and a nice amount of wind for sailing out of harbour.

A lovely Friday evening paddle over to Oyster Island which, we are convinced someone is trying to rebuild by stealth, as there’s a lot of stones being moved around! Then a very tasty lasagne on offer back at the club house.
