Scooby Hound in love with the beach at Luskentyre Sands on Harris. Miles and miles of pristine sand with views across to Taransay.

Light winds - average tides. Lovely paddle.

Revisiting a Croyde Bay walk. Scooby loved being back at Saunton Sands,

Out to the Pole Sands on a lovely Spring day. Joined by Marija and Jeremy L in their new Sea Eagle 385 FT. A veritable fleet of Sea Eagles. Scooby was a pretty good boy given it was his first trip out in the kayak this y…

First full family paddle of the year. Ideal conditions - tide with us on the way out and the wind got up a little to give us wind and tide pushing us on the way back.

With two of the three camper van inhabitants not waking up until gone 09:30, we opted for a lazy / veg / reading day today. Scooby got 2 walks along the beach.

An 06:45 start and 350 miles got us to the south of the Lake District by about 2 p.m. In time for a short yomp to Grange-over-Sands. A very pretty village on the north of Morcombe Bay. But where the hell where the pubs?…

And just a little bit out to sea. Lovely day - hot but with a cooling sea breeze. Retrieved a kite surfers board after he had some minor difficulties.

Down from SYC to the Pole Sands. Scooby a very happy dog (when at the Pole Sands). Saw Colin and Averil Y on Dawlish Warren with their inflatable kayak

From Cockwood round past Dawlish Warren to "Red Rock". Back via the Pole Sands. Trying out the RYA Safetrx app so that Liz can see, in real time, what trouble I am getting myself into,

Down to the Pole Sands with Jeremy and Marija L. Accompanying an SYC dinghy cruise. After we forgot Scooby Hound's tennis ball, Marija very kindly bought him a ball on a rope. Which he promptly destroyed! Followed up wi…

Just about a perfect sunny October paddle on the Exe Estuary. Had a close encounter with a seal who seemed to want the bit of sand I was sitting on while having my lunch.

Lovely paddle down from SYC, around the Pole Sands and back again. Had a poke around a new channel that seems to be opening up from buoys 7/8. A line between the lifeboat station and just a little east of the Parsons No…

First time out in the inflatable kayak this year. A lovely day and a lovely paddle for lunch in the Pole Sands and then a little explore round the far side of the Pole Sands.

Lovely days paddling. Down and then out along Dawlish Warren a bit. Then around the Pole Sands and the back up with the incoming tide.

Well not so much the Pole Sands as just off Dawlish Warren because the swashway was filled with buzzy little motorboats doing their Boxing Day race. Nice paddle - very little wind.

Down to the Pole Sands for lunch. Going to have to be renamed The Pole Pebbles - it is much more pebbley this year.

After tailing the safety line while Derek H went up the mast of his Fulmar, down to the Bull Sands against the wind and tide (only F3 and neaps). Lunch on the Sands and then an easy paddle back as the wind and waves got…

Lovely late October day - sunny and very little wind. Went for a paddle round the Pole Sands. On the sea side of the Pole Sands coming in to a beach with small breaking waves and rudder up, I ended up sideways on to a wa…

Beautiful autumn paddling. Foggy to start with but that soon cleared to bright sunshine. With the spring tide and a little wind on the way down. Stopped at the South Coaster when the sun came out as getting too hot! Afte…

Down around the low tide for lunch on the Pole Sands. A lovely December day with no wind and hardly a cloud in the sky. Lots of seals on the way back. Mind you, it was 4 degrees when I left the sailing club.

Lovely paddle on a stonkingly hot July day. Down river with the tide but against the F3 sea breeze that came it. Lunch on the last "island" at the end of the Pole Sands. Then back with the tide and the sea breeze via the…

A lovely spring day with big tides for a paddle down to the Pole Sands.

A paddle round the Pole Sands. Not enough wind to go sailing so we decided to take the hound for a paddle round the Pole Sands. With a 4.2m springs tide, there was a lot of water sluicing out past Exmouth Docks. However,…

A canoe trip from Cockwood Harbour to the Pole Sands off Exmouth. Scooby loved it.

A paddle down the Exe Estuary and along the Pole Sands with Nigel after work. A lovely sunny evening in the middle of the heat wave. Photos by Liz from a distance!

A paddle from Cockwood, out of the estuary and round the Pole Sands. There were even some little waves at times.

Was supposed to be an out to sea dinghy but there was no wind. So went out in the canoe. met up with the dinghy cruisers from SYC who had managed to find a little wind after all.

A late October down river dinghy cruise. Destination was the Pole Sands for a picnic. Bit late in the season for a picnic but the planned trip earlier in the year didn't work out. Lovely sail - decent range of winds. Big…

Lots of wind going down the estuary. Quite a bit of wind out at sea for a while and some waves to play with. After lunch at the beach cafe the wind died away a bit making the sail back up the channel alongside Exmout bea…
