Bay Paddle - Rough as guts….


A very rusty paddle in the V12, which probably wasn't the boat de jour for todays conditions, wind blowing to 22kn from the south, reasonable period swell making it's way into the bay with East in it as it wrapped in from out to sea, with south sea running on top. It was a bit of a washing machine & not great for the V12, unfortunately the Taran is still in being sorted for the trip.
Stats below, showing 40 minutes plodding into 20 knots, 15 minutes running into the swell but across the wind & sea, then 35 minutes running back with sharp, nasty stern quartering stuff. My guts were sore at the end from working hard with my core muscles to keep everything above the water.
