Captain Birdseye paddles his own canoe (1 Viewer)

[Wildman]

After the disaster of my maritime exploits last year it has taken me a while to find the time to get back on the water
I just knew it was going to be a good day when I arrived to find a little egret on the foreshore

Having arrived at the site of my near drowning last year (note how steep that muddy bank is).

I waited a while as the tide was rushing past at a rate of knots then took the plunge
Sue stood on the shore camera in hand ready to catch the moment I drowned

I am pleased to report we both missed it

and once the tide race eased up I managed to disappear from sight

An hour later with sore shoulders I returned as dry as I set out even my feet had dried.

Now how to carry it on my motorhome

looks like that might do it.

Congratulations on surviving your return to the water Roger,

I've not paddle the Torridge for some time and normally launch from Appledore slip (not so much mud), some great wildlife along the banks and have had the occasional fish which is a bonus.

Kayaking a great way to catch your dinner.

Come the warmer weather maybe we can meet up for a paddle. there are a number of kayakers in the area, some members of MHF and others of the Kayak fishing club.

I hope it is ok to include the link if not then please remove it Jim. There must be more canoeist and kayakers in fun. I have a canoe trailer here that can carry several at a time, maybe we could have a fishing meet or somesuch thing.

 

[Snowbird]

Am up for a fishing meet, but am not sure of fishing in a kiyak, I will bring my own water transport if that's OK.
