Park Shore-Cowes-Browndown

[richi]

Went out today for a fitness paddle.Launched at Park Shore at 8



Shouldn't have taken the sail it made me lazy Ended up sailing most of the way there and half the way back ;D

Met a couple of guys near Cowes on the return journey (one in a prijon the other in an epic) and they had also circumnavigated the island last year(under 10 hours).One of the guys said pointing to the scupper"there is a guy who has been round the island on one of them,I read about it on the internet!" ;D ;D ;D We had a great chat discussing past and possible future exploits whilst paddling together for a few miles before heading in different directions.



A great but bloody cold day and 28.3 miles covered.
