Did a paddle from Cleveland to Dunwich yesterday. 20 - 25 knot West wind. Tried something different and went out to paddle as little as possible and just let the bumps push me across. Now much of a workout but sooo much fun! I swear you don't go much slower either.
If there's a better run around here than this one I'm yet to do it! Thanks to Nigel for coming with me even though he was a bit out of his comfort zone.
