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.

  2. Did you eat the clams?

  3. No…most of them turned out to be full of mud. Even I won’t eat mud in garlic butter…
