yd have you thought about doing round the island over a few days? its a very nice trip that way.
i took a couple of m8s round 2 years back,spread it over 4 days,doing 15 miles a day with the tide and then camp up somewhere nice,get the rods out and relax :fishing-smile:

That was a truly inspirational film, not being the owner of a yak
myself i can still see the attraction. Those guys have what it takes
and more to say the least. It really makes you think that all things
are possible if you want them enough. If only I was younger !

Not sure I would like to be in his shoes...saw the programme on the BBC..... no dry-suit, artic waters, an unstable canoe and you need to be close enough to see the whites of its eyes.... on a scale of one to flippin suicidal, that is close to madness |

Check out around 30 minutes 30 seconds when they are quietly fishing 
These guys built their own kayaks and paddled from Alaska to Seattle,,,97 days through the wilderness covering 1,400 miles
