Thank you Bert. Yep disturbance is a real problem with more and more folk on the sea, many of those new folk don't understand the problems we can cause. But new rules are coming in and there is lots of advice out there.
Ray - Huge Thank You times 2 ! First for an amazing day on salt water in beautiful sunshine, and second for giving me an unexpected chance to re-live the whole trip, via the video. Brilliant. Rose.
Ray, you are fantastic and intuitive teacher. Hope to bring my family one day to get some instruction. Watching this makes me think the sea could good starting point for more adventurous training.
Hi Sally, thank you for your kind comments. Very much appreciated. Re the sea: bear in mind that I really choose my days to be on the sea hence it is normally calm looking. I avoid the harder conditions which limits the days I can do stuff on the sea. Anyway kind regards, Ray
That looks idyllic. I can't believe that I never knew about the Hoveringham - I've walked that stretch of coast and I used to live in Penmaenmawr with a view across Puffin Island.
It was pretty amazing. A good account of the Hoveringham II sinking is: www.thefreelibrary.com/The+past+dredged+up+with+aerial+shot+of+shipwreck.-a0499334250
thank you for sharing this Ray - I will not ever likely have opportunity to paddle waters such as this (never say never however haha) and I appreciate that you choose to point out things like current lines and eddies and how to utilize them and the scenery and wildlife were amazing. many thanks from Alberta Canada
You need to be on a neap tide as well. The current can still run at up to 5-6 km per hour in the channel at the height of the tide. Get it right and its easy, get it wrong and it gets .......
@@RayGoodwinCanoe Yeah I've been looking at a few difficulty zonal maps of anglesey for kayaking and that particular spot seems to differ from page to page. Maybe I'll stick to the coasts along the cliffs for now. I'd just love some seal experiences whilst paddling
Yes which is why I practise rescues in harder conditions. With customers I am very careful about the days I choose though. I don't want an epic when I am working. I have been around Puffin, in sea kayak, when it can be quite monstrous.
@@RayGoodwinCanoe I've recently switched from a surfski to canoe and would like to get out on open water more often. You've inspired me to put together a strong self rescue in order t venture out. Thank you!
It's small things like mentioning you shouldn't disturb the seals or the birds that re-enforce Ray's expert status.

A brilliant day, one I’ll remember for a looooong time. Next time, let do the swellies! Thanks for the memories
So glad you enjoyed it.

Glad you spotted the video. I had meant to email you. Yep a great day out.
That is some of the best footage I’ve ever seen, looks like a great day out and such wonderful wildlife ❤
Thank you for such a kind comment. It’s one of my favourites but does need the exactly right tide and weather. The seals are awesome

Indeed a fantastic looking trip.
It is very good 😊 I never tire of it

Thank you Brian, very much appreciated. Yep you are a little way from a coast like this. But never say never as you say
Lovely!
Thank you
Simple but great outing, ya Ray.
Thanks Graham. Appreciated
Beautiful trip. Wish I was there 🙏
It is wonderful
We're off to Ynys Mon this coming Monday for some walking and one of which is close to the black and white lighthouse.
That will be very good. Love the tolling bell from the lighthouse.
Nice! Have a great Christmas you lot :)
Thank you. Have a good one yourself
Thanks
You are most welcome
On a calm day is it a difficult trip to make. Launching from Penmon point on either my rigid open top kayak or my inflateable sit inside kayak

@@bobzepie This book gives lots of ideas on tidal currents and problems along the coast. It maybe useful to you: amzn.eu/d/g4ZnGth
Great video.
With your self rescue, are you comfortable canoeing in bigger conditions on the ocean?
Yes which is why I practise rescues in harder conditions. With customers I am very careful about the days I choose though. I don't want an epic when I am working. I have been around Puffin, in sea kayak, when it can be quite monstrous.

@@mountainpaddler2242 You are most welcome.

My phone glitched out, apologies for the silly repeat
@@spoonerbooner We have all had that happen. No problem

Yep I should have had my dog with me in the boat: I wonder what his reaction would be?
