Irish Sea Kayaking Association

<t>Hi Colin,<br/> <br/> I\'m the same. I put a post on the East Coast site a week ago and was planning to post it here as well. So far I\'ve one possible, and I\'m exploring getting an assessment run. With you, that makes 3, and I think we need a group of 4.<br/> <br/> If you\'d like to get in touch...

Looks fantastic. Enjoy it.

Meanwhile, here on the east coast we\'re getting a chance to practise with onshore winds, which might leave me a bit better prepared for the Atlantic later in the year.

Hi Colin,

If you\'re interested in this, I\'ve got an assessment provisionally arranged for 27 July.

Let me know if that suits.

<t>A little late, but I\'ll add my thanks too. A great weekend and a fabulous piece of coast. Sitting off Loop Head with a pod of dolphins heading through, rafting up between Leaba Dhiarmada and the Head, nosing under the Bridges of Ross, watching 30 kayakers get bullied by a horse...<br/> <br/> Jus...

<t>Hi Nic,<br/> <br/> I gather iCanoe will repair gaskets and do a good job. They\'ll also sell you a repair kit which works well. I used it for my neck gasket about 20 months ago and it\'s still going strong: the most difficult part was plucking up the courage to start. After that, it\'s just a cas...

<t>I went paddling with them on Loch Hyne one evening just after Easter. They\'re a great bunch and worth following up with. We had a lot of fun.<br/> <br/> Des Ronan is the man to talk to. If you\'re having trouble getting in touch, Ciaran in Bantry Bay Canoes can help.<br/> <br/> HTH<br/> <br/> Al...

Hi Maurice,
Is this a load of bull or are you just trying to tease us before our defences go up?

The RNLI news clip doesn\'t give too much away, except that it seems to have happened well inside Cork harbour:

Des, I looked a bit further. Phoenix Kayak Club in Cork picked this up, here: http://phoenixkayakclub.editboard.com/t2325-kayakers-rescued-in-cork-harbour Seems not to be any of their members. They linked to this: http://www.thejournal.ie/crosshaven-rnli-called-to-rescue-struggling-kayakers-261514-O...

Thanks. That should be required reading.
