“That was the easiest paddling trip that I’ve ever done”.
Heather has just acquired a composite sea kayak, after years of paddling a plastic Capella. For the first time in memory, she was out front, rather than out back.

During 2006-8 I researched, photographed and wrote 'South West Sea Kayaking', a detailed guide to the coasts and islands of South West England; from the Bristol Channel to the Isle of Wight. The second edition was published in April 2011.
'Savage Shores: Britain's Coastal Environment' is the working title of the book currently being researched and written by my wife Heather and myself for Pesda Press. The book aims to explain the climate, geology, landforms, natural history and human history of the coastal environment to walkers, sea kayakers and others enjoying this wonderful part of Britain's natural heritage.
This blog is intended to keep you up to date with our progress and adventures in working on the book.

Heather,
I love new gear! Well done on your new boat, may you have many happy paddles. Are you going to name her?
Mark,

I also love good photos and this one is beautifully composed and exposed.
In honour of its first trip with her, Heather suggested that she was going to call her boat ‘Bill’.
There goes our pretence of male superiority…………let the arms race begin!
Heather,
how would you compare your old Capella RM to your new boat (I am trying to justify getting a composite rather than a plastic boat and although the sheer beauty of them is almost enough it is nice to get other peoples first hand opinions… especially as you have only just changed over!!).
Rog.
So have I (just changed over) get one……..you’ll never regret it.
