Where did I Leave my pot?

Back again

its been a while since i last kept a blog, Facebook came along and that seems easier! however i am back, lots of ideas and things i want to do.

i have been kayaking over the last 2 years although perhaps not as much or at the level i was, i have found the bug again and have plans to fill these pages full of wonderfull pictures and sensless ramblings about nothing in particular!

Its all gone a bit funny but i am not laughing!

All is not well on Cypress, have managed a couple of days coaching but also spent the last couple of days in the hospital, every time i stood up i fell back over, not ideal for sea kayaking. Doctors reckon its maybe a virus or something else, so not a lot of help there, all they have decided is that i shouldn't be taking there people out on the water, so i am coming home early. 

Bit of a shame really as its a fair distance to travel, and its nice surfing in a semi naked state rather than 3 layers and a drysuit. so here are a couple of pictures from my last forage about Skye with Cailean.

and last but not least one for Mike Webb at Rockpool, look Mike how we take care of our boats!

If only

I am spending this week mostly on Cypress, coaching a group from Wales. Thats the good news the bad news is i am having to paddle an Easky all week, its not a bad boat just huge, if only i could have brought something from my toy cupboard.

or all would have been better, the morning start of flat, but by lunchtime the wind is rising and in the afternoon there is a bit of wind driven surf. My Rockpool fleet would cover all evantualities.

On the bright side the water is warm around 24 degrees c rescue practice no problem!

What the f*&k

Just paddling along minding my business, enjoying a lovely day on Loch Leven, when out of nowhere

This is the second one the first was probably somewhere over Fort William before i got the camera off my neck. i could almost feel my insides vibrating as the sound passed overhead.
