River crusin' sundays (9 friends with floaty things)

in summer •  6 years ago 

More and more friends are buy SUPs (Stand-up Paddleboards), which means we now have a crew to cruise up the river with on a Sunday :-)))))

We timed it perfectly today on the River Arun. Good timing is essential as the River Arun is one of the fastest flowing rivers in England, up to 7 knots. It is rumoured to be the second fastest.

Where we enter the river is 4 hours up from the river mouth in tide time, so its a lot slower and a lot less aggressive when the tide changes.

Parts of the river don't even look like typical England, I feel as if I'm in South America somewhere like Costa Rica.

We have some kayaks as well as SUP's, everyone is welcome on the Sunday adventure cruise

Personally, I was a little hungover from last night (Too many Gin & Tonics), but the girls all cracked a cold lager at the halfway point.

Looks like a great way to spend a Sunday! Cruising along the river in good company...🛶

Thanks, yeah we try and do every other Sunday. It started out just me and my wife, but now we have recruited a nice little crew to share it with :-)
