At this very moment , intrepid duo Nick and Ed are about half way around the Isle of White on a 24hr charity paddle.

Check out the web site for info on the trip- maybe make a donation. Below is the message we got from their support crew first thing this morning as they set off.

Ed and Nick launched into the dark waters of the Solent at 0035hrs this morning. They have started from Cowes on the Island and our currently heading towards Yarmouth and then the Needles.

The weather is overcast but visibility is perfect and a gentle breeze from the West. The sea state is flat.
Words from the originally named kayak.. Duo  ”Loving it, but need a pee”
Any messages at this very stupid hour for the “Duo” welcome.

More later..
