Valley Avocet Maiden Voyage, Torbay

Parked up on Redgate Beach

Cormorants

Paddling under London Bridge

Today was the maiden voyage for my new sea kayak, a Valley Kevlar Avocet that I picked up from AS Watersports in Exeter. I also borrowed a hire boat (another Avocet) for Hannah who joined me today for a paddle from Meadfoot Beach round to Anstey's Cove and return. We also took a quick blast the other way to London Bridge. The weather was amazing it is was definately a short sleeve day (for me anyway). We saw a range of sea birds and a huge number of people out Mackeral fishing both from boats and the headlands.

I am very impressed with both my new boat and the service received from Ewart at AS Watersports. I wholeheartedly recommend them for all your paddling needs.
