Today i've bee out with Claire Knifton on the first day of my 3star sea kayak training and assessment. This is the first time i've been out in a sea boat since the summer (6 months ago!) so needless to say i was a little rusty to get going! We headed out to Lochilort hoping to get a decent length sea trip in for the 1st day as a nice introduction back into it all! Instead we got a rather challenging day in some interesting conditions!
We had a nice trip up the shoreline to the Peanmeanach bothy heading straight into the wind, eddy hopping to stay out of the wind as best we can. The conditions were challenging for a 3 star. Force 5 winds and some big swell breaking round the headlands. This made for some great surf on the return trip!
Before finishing for the day we had a quick look at hanging draws and Callum and myself got out rolls out of the way early!
Back out again tomorrow.
