Paddle 4 Hilsea Creek and Portsmouth Harbour

Hilsea Creek and Portsmouth Harbour.
Not the most attractive or well cared for site, but it is quick and easy to get to, allowing more time on the water and less time driving.
F2, slack water, launch and return at the public slip next to Hilsea Lido, 6 miles of paddling with and without the rudder just getting used to the boat still.
Looking West from Hilsea Creek towards Pounds Scrap Yard and Portsmouth Harbour
The single largest milestone on today's paddle involved me doing non paddling things while sitting in a kayak on salt water.  It may not sound like much, but being able to take a drink of water, eat some wine gums and even take a photo is something I wouldn't even attempt from my Inuk.
