The Perfect Thursday

It’s been a while since I wrote a blog, but last night’s marvellous paddle deserves one.

Four foreigners: A Jerseyman, an Irishman, a Frenchman and a Danishwoman. Three days to spring tides: LW at 7.30 p.m. Two leaders. One howling westerly wind.

Despite the odd bit of rain, it was a clear night, and with […]
