    Enjoyed the landscapes, the cloud formations, the calm waters and going through the canals, thanks for showing it all.

    Great video. Always love when kayakers keep the natural sound in their videos with music. Well done! Cheers!

    I apologize for seeing so much out of order. But am I glad I didn't just pass this video by. It is SO enjoyable Bob! Thank you so much for sharing your trip with us. I'll get there one day but it will have to wait a wee while yet. I loved everything about your filming. I hope more people get to see your videos and encourage you to make even more. Thanks again. Best wishes, Pam

      Get the tides right and the Corryvreckan no big issue, some of the "lesser" races and flows round that area can catch you out though,

    • @getwet501

      The Corry was very tame, neap tides and perfect timing to cross, but 20 mins ether way and its a bit lively!!

    Really nice, guys! I like the lack of drama (ironically usually in conditions that are rather tame accompanied by loud music).
    I have done many nice trips since retiring here in Oregon, the last being pre-COVID from Prince Rupert, BC (Canada) to Port Hardy on the open coast side, solo. COVID and aging companions knocked me off these trips temporarily, but hopefully I will be back in the saddle this summer as I am still in good paddle shape. You guys certainly wetted my appetite for more.

      Mmm, i don't pay too much attention to the altitude on these Garmins to be honest, not sure if they are accurate on small altitude changes. I do use the speed and distance info while I'm paddling though, and its fun to see your trace when you get home

      Good point. Going out in a low pressure, wind pushing the tide, Storm Surge with a Garmin could be interesting. And probably dangerous…so don’t.

      Tank you for your answer! Inspired by your Videos, I ordered a Cairngorm in Scotland...had to pay over 70 € import tax but I think it's worth. Hopfully I will set it first at Finisterre FR.

And with nothing less than THREE of my previous paddles the blade broke off. Let's see if Mitchell ships to Spain. Thanks!
