Wendy & Simon Canoe
Wendy and Simon wanted a break from walking the local mountains, when they saw my notice in the hostel (Sail Mhor Croft Hostel) they decided it would be a good activity do rest their legs with. We paddled from my local beach at Mellon Charles and headed off around the rocky coastline to see what we could see at sea.
It was evident from the off that both Wendy and Simon had previous experience in boats, picking up the strokes easily and racing around. We saw a selection of birds, a seal, a huge number of moon jellyfish, but sadly for Wendy there where no otters out playing. Sorry, maybe next time.
Simon was keen to whiz around whilst Wendy wanted to get her paddling ready for a triathlon later in the year over near Loch Morlich – good luck with the race.
Since they where both doing so well I set them off paddling solo a the end to see how they faired. They both preformed well with the race at the end being pretty even.
The day was fantastic with bright sunshine, light breeze, Cristal clear sea and interesting coast line. Conor is a great instructor, with a lot of background knowledge of skills and local interest.
Not sure if the email address I left you was ledge able, but did you say you have some photos of our paddles we could have.

Glad you had a good time, I must have mis-typed your email address – I’ll send them again now.
Thanks,
Conor
