RHI-4-RNLI Charity Paddle Sunday 9 August

The Club is organising a paddle in aid of the RNLI to coincide with the RNLI Eastney open day, so there will be lots for the family to do as well.

Monday Training 29 June 2009

Eastney Entrance was perfect for cooling off after the baking heat of the day, and escaping Wimbledon on TV.

Sharing the water for a few moments with the gravel ship, before heading off for the eddies around the ferry pontoon on the Hayling side.

Monday Night Training

Perfect weather for this weeks training session at Eastney. First the briefing,

then, getting on the water,

rafting up,

practising turning strokes,

starting the ferry glide across the entrance,

the crossing. By the time everyone came back, suitably bedraggled, from rescues and rolling, it was too dark for photography.

Eastney to Seaview (IOW) Sunday 21 June 2009

Perfect conditions for a trip across the Solent today. Just enough wave movement to rock you peacefully, tidal assistance, and a light tail wind in both directions.

We had to wait for the 'Chelsea' between the forts,

and then crossed astern.

Our 14 boats occupied much of the beach at Seaview, but despite the warm sun, there was only a handful of people enjoying the water, so plenty of room for all.
