The NM Eaters are a loose group of paddlers interested in distance and speed. We train in (almost) all conditions, on the Bay and on the ocean and reward ourselves with bigger circumnavigations and crossings of 20, 30 or 40 NM.

Route:  Leave Stony Point with outgoing tide - cross over to Philipp Island - follow current along channel to Nobbies and continue a nautical mile or two on the outside side of Philipp Island - have a break on the water, do a roll, turn around  -  and ride the incoming tide back on the inside to Cowes for a civilised beach break - cross over back to Stony Point (with tidal assistance).

Easy wind and sea conditions with strong tidal assistance.  Still there's a true ocean part and it's a long time in the saddle.
