Paddle 28 Prinsted

Two paddles in one day!  I took my daughters to Prinsted to kayak.  They were more interested in swimming with Grandad, partly because they hadn't seen him for a while and partly because the water was very warm and inviting.  So I left them playing on the beach and went for a blast round the harbour.

I noticed someone trying to paddle an 18 foot catamaran into a marina.  They had no sails on board and just one  single bladed paddle.  The marina was dead upwind and they were losing ground against the F5.  I offered to try and tow them in but said I wasn't sure how much help it would be.  It turned out that I was able to tow the boat easily against the wind using my normal Greenland Paddle.
