Meet at Loe beach 09:30, ready to go at 10:00
Wind is from the north up to Force 3, so best to use sea kayaks.
It's going to be cold so dress accordingly and bring food and a hot drink.
High tide is at 07:32 and Low tide 14:29
Plan is nice and simple - Paddle up until 12:00ish, have lunch, then paddle back.
