It's not very often that you can entitle a blog entry "Beginners paddle to the Calf". This entails crossing the very tidal Sound of Man. It's spring tides at the moment too. However, conditions were absolutely perfect, and so on a flat calm sea we set off with 5 beginners from Port Erin to the Calf.
Crossing the Sound was uneventful as we kept upstream of the turbulent sea. I did have a limited foray into the tidal race but soon returned to the group.
I couldn't make the afternoon intermediate session which took place in the Sound tidal races. However, I did manage to get some great photographs from the shore which will feature in the next blog entry.
