As planned went out into the sea breeze off Kingston beach. felt like I was in fantastic control as I paddled north but then turned around into the wind and chop and struggled back up the beach - managed not to hit the drink though.

Then afterwards under the supervision of my family decided to see what would happen if I did tip out. I learnt the following things:

1) upturned kayaks blow away very quickly in a breeze
2) Even If I managed to hold onto the kayak I would be completely and utterly stuffed if this happened off shore - there's no way I could get enough water out to consider hopping back in, and there's no way I could get back in it anyway.

So despite becoming quite fond of the kt1 in the last few weeks I think for long term survival I'll probably need to get an ocean ski, which can't fill up water.

Went out with jon to his mtb event at kellevie and I did a lap of their course before they started. I managed to do it in a shade over jonno's first lap time (the one where he got a puncture and had to fix it twice before getting back). Then later on went out for a play on the tracks they weren't using that day.
Fell off all over the place but had fun.
