Furzey, Green, Round, Long

Launching near South Haven Point

This morning was spent exploring islands and creeks along the southern side of Poole Harbour. Stiff winds were a bit of a chore on the way out, but the surf back was pretty exhilarating! I was joined on the water by John Gilmour and Heather. Richard Parkin (editor of Paddles Magazine) also tried to join us, but couldn’t find us out on the water … it is a big place!

About 140000 people live in Poole and the Harbour handles large volumes of leisure and commercial shipping, including cross-channel ferries. You wouldn’t know it, where we were.

About

During 2006-8 I researched, photographed and wrote a sea kayaking guide to the South West of England; from the Bristol Channel to the Isle of Wight. I have used this blog to keep folk updated as to my progress and to reveal some of the wonderful scenery, culture and wildlife of this little corner of England.
