Irish Kayak Angling safety day!

This is a work in progress....more to post!!!

A fantastic day out on the water, and the weather was great!
It began with some safety talk out on the water, and then our re-entry drilling and after that some general messing about in and out of the yaks, all the time in very deep water and great all round re-entry practice.Later we moved to the incoming rapids and did some paddling against the current and turning maneuvering in fast water.. also jumping in and "staying with the yak" in fast water.In the end we found ourselves running the rapids in and out of the yaks...great fun!
Back to dry land for some hypothermia and CPR talks and demonstrations also looking at various safety equipment and questions and answers.
And some grub on the BBQ...awesome after all that (thanks Pat)and some general chin wagging.....
Oh and a little fly hunting for mullet in Rosscarberry, but no joy there!
A really great day on the water,
Thanks to Bantry Bay Canoes and Irish Kayak Angling!!
