Kayaking
It’s been a lovely season and I’m sad it’s ended but it’s good to see people still going out when there’s a nice spell.
Thinking ahead; if anyone be willing and able to drive the trailer for a kayak trip to Basingstoke please let me know. We can then have a discussion about dates to suit you to go in the calendar for next year. You would be paid handsomely for your trouble in the form of bacon butty’s!
If anyone has any other ideas for kayaking events or how to encourage people on the water please let me know.
Finally, I hope to see kayakers at the awards evening; there will be an inaugural kayak award!
Terri Johnson, Kayak Captain, kayaks
Ebb & Flow
Although we are at the jet washing and scraping end of the winter layup, there is an interesting article on the RYA website on reducing the environmental impact of antifouling. Antifouling is a bit of a quandary given it is intended to keep growth off the hull, but environmentally we don’t want it to impact the same wildlife elsewhere (if nothing else if it is growing somewhere else it isn’t on the hull!). It also has a notable impact on the yards where it is used unless collected and disposed off properly. To find out more visit: https://www.rya.org.uk/blog/protect-collect-dispose
As ever, feel free to drop me an email at this address, it is always nice to hear from members. Any ideas of things to include in the Tidal Diamonds always most welcome.
Let’s be careful out there.
