Well, on salt water anyway! Best part of 12 miles round trip to Whitehaven Harbour and back in bright sunshine, flat calm conditions. Not bad for 15 minutes from front door to on the water at St Bees, after work and the clocks having just gone forward.
A lobster boat gave me a few waves to play with from his wash and there were masses of seabirds, cormorants, oystercatchers and gulls (lots!) but, sadly, not a puffin in sight. Also had a moment of inattention which saw me establish that the Sirocco rolls easily enough, at least when empty... Wish I had taken the camera - the waterproof one!
First salt water trip - 12 miles, 2 hours paddling
