Kayaking - Surf Skiing: Lepe Wind Direction: n Wind Stength: light Surf / Sea State: flat Air Temperature: 18 Sea Temperature: Weather: cloudy,rain then sun Max Speed: Distance Covered: 7 miles (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise)
Woke in Dennywood to cloudy skies so had a lazy lay - in reading :) arrive
at Lepe at 11.30 with the plan to kayak up the Beaulieu River but looking
very dark :( ring Rob for weather report and decide to go anyway !!! Mag
packs lunch as I pump up the boat and we set off in the light north
offshore winds at approx 12.40 in a calm sea :) Seemed to take ages in the
open sea but made the river hugging the marshes to see the birds including
egrets and lapwings and hundreds of mullet !!!The fish loved to swim alon
with their fins out of the water !!! We made it to Bucklers Hard with the
tide still coming in so decided to continue to Beaulieu.At three with the
rain just starting we stopped for a late lunch under some trees at the boat
park at Bailey's Hard where we watched a canoe race and some lads fishing
from the jetty - they caught two fish :) We arranged for Rob to pick us up
after the football had finished and continued to Beaulieu as the sun made
an apperance :) Still more mullet and we were lucky enough to spot a
kingfisher !!! We Landed at 5.30 after a 7 mile and nearly 4 hour trip,then
Rob took us back to Lepe where we had fish and chips to end a top top day
