Jim, Mike and I finished the weekend with a short paddle from Runswick Bay to Staithes, leaving the dog with Kirstine:

By some miracle, we managed to get on the water exactly at our planned time of 7:30am:

The weather was perfect and there were a few small waves to play on. Unfortunately, our plans for a full breakfast in Staithes were scuppered by the fact that very little opens until 10:00am. We managed to get some oranges and bananas from a small butcher's shop.
A little rolling practice to finish showed the dangers of trying a roll on your off-side in a borrowed plastic barge after a two-year break from paddling:

(Mike's first roll, on the right hand side, worked perfectly.)
It was a nice end to the weekend before the Bank Holiday drive home - our thanks go to Kirstine for the dog minding service!
