A nice early Sunday morning paddle. The main aim was to dust off some cobwebs and try out new dry-suits and fleece under suits.
Chichester Harbour has decided that kayaks no longer need to pay harbour dues! This brings it into line with Langstone and Portsmouth harbours.
My Crewsaver Cirrus has been good the past 4 times I've used it. Not a drop past the neoprene seals and it's been very comfortable. This time I used it with a Lomo fleece under suit. I was perfectly comfortable stationary and paddling slowly, but anything more than gentle paddling and I was too hot. It will certainly be useful later in the year, but really it was too warm for today.
Steve enjoyed using his Gul dry suit. He doesn't have as much natural padding as me, but his neoprene seals also stayed dry.
We did see a couple of seals off Thorny Island and also managed to get a picture with a local friendly Orca!
