11.Capsizing at Sannaig ...




Sadly no basking sharks to add that extra excitement to capsize practice, but it was a gloriously sunny warm day, (we've had just the one this summer on Islay), and Eleanor prepares to take the plunge! We did try to point out that in an emergency she might not have time to put on goggles and hold her nose but ...


...anyway, they both enjoyed tipping each other out of the kayak. Because it is so stable it's remarkably difficult to turn it over, but because it's an inflatable it's easy to flip back the right way and to climb back in - "good" says the support team.


Thanks very much to Ian and Margaret Brooke who were our official photographers at Sannaig. For those of you who don't already know and might be interested, Ian has a bird blog where you can find out all the latest info on what's about and where on Islay.
