Another day in the office..

I've just spent the afternoon out paddling between Kimmeridge Bay and St Alban's Head, with James Best, a local sea kayaker and long-time friend, and a set of Lendal Kinetik Sea Wings, that we're currently reviewing (You'll have to watch out in future issues of Ocean Paddler for whether we liked it or not!).

The race at St Alban's was kicking up a bit; 4 knots of tide with F4-5 against it - all great fun and we spent a good half an hour under the watchful eye of the St Albans Coastwatch people and a few walkers along the coast path.

Unfortunately, the winds kicked up a bit whilst we were there, and the journey back was a slog; straight into a strong headwind. Still, we were rewarded with a great sunset, as you can see.

Email Problems

We've been experiencing problems with our email service over the last two days. Our supplier assures us that the problems are now resolved, however any email sent to us over the last couple of days is still in a large queue awaiting delivery to us. Hopefully, we should get the emails over the next few hours.

As email is the primary source we use to recieve details of orders placed, and to communicate with a number of people (as with many other businesses), this has obviously caused us a few problems, for example delaying the dispatch of any new orders, or responding to your queries.

Hopefully, all is getting better now! If you've sent an email in the last few days and were expecting a quick response, we apologise.
