Had a close encounter with a seal who seemed to want the bit of sand I was sitting on while having my lunch.

| Paddle round the Pole Sands | 2021-04-14 | 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 Nose (off Dawlish) gives what seems to be slightly deeper water than the marked channel. However, it doesn't seem as wide and wouldn't be easy to identify coming back into the estuary.
Had a 3.9 metre tide and some wind to push me back to SYC - lush!

| Pole Sands Paddling | 2021-05-29 | 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 year. A bit barky though.

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.

| Pole Sands paddling | 2022-08-27 | 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 with some kayak capsize practise at SYC - capsizing both the Sea Eagle inflatable and the hard shell Triumph 13.

| Pole Sands Paddling | 2021-03-31 | Another kayak trip to the Pole Sands.
First paddle of the year and with the 2nd highest tide of the year. Out with a strong tide and just a little wind against. Back with tide and wind. Sun even came out - ideal.
No hound this time as the water is probably a little cold if he fell in. Meant I got to read a whole chapter of my book on the Pole Sands with no nagging from the dog (just nagging from the wife - which is easier to ignore),
