| Helford Paddling | 2023-05-18 | A quick dip into Frenchman's Creek and then up to near Tremayne Quay for a coffee stop.
The first bit of the track is on land to measure the distance we dragged the kayak back up from Helford Passage to the campervan. Quite hard work but do-able. The kayak launching fee from Helford Passage was £2 which we thought was fair (and the more expensive ice cream was very nice too).

| Helford Creeks | 2019-07-13 | An early summer long weekend paddling on the Fal and the Helford.
With the winds being from the north, we chose the Helford for the Saturday.
Back to Frenchman's Creek but with a rising tide we were able to get right to the end of it.
Lunch and some Scooby ball action at Tremayne Quay (and helping an old wooden sailing boat moor alongside) and then in to the strangely named Vallum Tremayne Creek for the first time.

| Launching Thalmia | 2021-03-30 | With Derek H as his Fulmar was launched from Topsham Quay on the highest tides of the year.
A lovely day so on out to sea. A bit of wind for some sailing. Lunch anchored at Sandy Bay where a couple of small dolphins came out to play.
Then some drifting waiting for enough rise of tide to come back in.
Plenty of sand / mud bank changes over the winter.
The port hand buoys in the swashway had breakign waves. The clearance coming up to buoy 3 was just 30 centimetres below the keel.
Then nudged sand banks at buoy 21 and just before SYC

| Ride to Exeter Quay and back | 2013-10-07 | Light winds on the way to the Quay and a head wind on the way back. New walking boots at Framers Friend. Wearing out the soles of walking boots every years must mean we are walking the dog too much.
