The forecast till friday. Plans aren't changing!
Theres nothing like a good breeze to put you on edge the week before launch.....looking like I should get away with it though.....the plan remains the same. Clear Lands end and paddle!
Niton (Extended Forecast) From: 1900 BST Tue Aug 12 2014 To: 1900 BST Fri Aug 15 2014 On Tuesday evening a deep and unseasonable low centred near the Shetland Isles 983 will move to northern Forties 990 by midday Wednesday. During this time a deepening low is expected to move eastwards from Biscay 1012 to eastern France 1006 by midday Wednesday. The more northern, and deeper, low will continue to fill and move southeastwards overnight and through Thursday to be centred near Oslo 997 by evening.

Organising chaos
With 12 days to go and only one full day off work before the off, preparations are feeling incredibly snug. I moved house this weekend unpacked and then started planning to pack....a weird position to be in for sure. I had a good sail on the estuary this morning actually keeping pace with a laser pico, and beating it upwind (he had no paddles).
Having never undertaken anything so big I dont know how I should be feeling right now but im gaining a mantra that pings in my head a lot at the moment. ....
Sky above, Sea below, Paddle, Paddle, Paddle!
Simple rules that shouldn't see me far wrong.
