Port Erin bay was the meeting point for most of the Easter weekend, warm, sunny and very close to the ice cream shop to finish..Jellyfish have begun to arrive, heralding the return of the Basking Sharks in the near future - water clarity remaining excellent was ideal for peering over the side and watching the young seals swimming arounf beneith the kayaks and the mischievous tugs on the front toggle. Alerted by its distinctive cry, we watched a Peregrine Falcon circling the high cliffs above whilst Laughten lambs frollicked on the grassy slopes nearby.
Family groups also used the offer of the 'Mighty Triton' double kayaks, to take younger adventurers in the front with an instructor.
A relaxed paddle round the Calf
of Man for the novice plus group, and the beginners headed round to Fleshwick past the mines in Bradda Head. Coming together to finish on the beach at the end.

The Youth Scholarship team shone on their mini-expedition around the Island, they've shown a high standard of paddling ability in all conditions and exceptional teamwork throughout. WELL DONE!!
Good luck with the looming exams and final preparations and training for Norway this summer :)
