After a week of wild windy weather we
were surprised that Saturday 15th November turned out to
be dry, warm, calm and at times sunny. 10 paddlers were
on Ringstead beach ready to launch at 10:30 There was
some residual swell which added some interest to quite
benign conditions.
Ian was paddling his new Rockpool – his third – let’s
hope this one lasts a lot longer than the last one!

It was great to catch up with everyone
and as we paddled across towards White Nothe it was calm
enough to chat.
Easy conditions across Ringstead Bay
White Nothe produced some interesting
rock hopping.

Durdle Door was calm enough for everyone to paddle
through

But Tony managed to find some excitement!

and was able to oblige us by taking a group photo

Ken managed to become airborne on the little wave at the
entrance to Lulworth Cove...

We enjoyed a pleasant paddle back to Ringstead and
everyone really enjoyed their day.
