A few bits of feedback from this week

Best wishes for the future and we will be back on our next trip"

August - Basking Sharks return!

Coasteering Exploration - Isle of Man

Scouts - Sea Kayaking on the Isle of  Man

 Basking Sharks have been spotted again around the Manx coastline this week, although we have been reliably informed they are all holidaying in Scotland at present...
George Shaw was padding with Clare off Llangness on Monday and saw two sharks. Clare (who had previously made the crossing from Ireland and back) had returned to paddle round the Island over two days.

Family Coasteering session

A cracking route in hot sunshine : )

ps. a few words from the Scouts

"Thanks Keirron.

We had a great week and the Scouts all enjoyed the Kayaking, they won’t forget it for a long time, especially the ones that fell in!

Thanks again to you and your team,

Mike Smith"

Corporate Day - Sea Kayak & Coasteering

 Everyone took to the kayaks in the morning, paddling South, exploring the caves and inlets, playing with the seals... We took a break on the water, before meandering back to the Beach.

 Meeting back at Fenella Beach, the group having enjoyed lunch at The Creek - we changed into Coasteering attire, and set off around St Patrick's Isle.

a few more to follow : )

"Hi Keirron

I’ve had some feedback and every single one is saying how well organised your team were, what a great team building experience it was and we’re all questioning “how and when can we do that again”, it was better than I thought it would be and I thought it would be brilliant.

…I couldn’t think of many better on the island to bring teams together.

Thank you and your team very much for your professionalism and hard work.

I look forward to seeing you on the 14^th.

Mike"

Port St Mary Lifeboat Day

Adventure Club - Sea Kayak sessions

The morning sea kayak training session - split into two smaller groups and worked on forward paddling with edge control and capsize prevention.

 Later in the session, the group of 'Improvers' headed out into the ocean swell...

Adventurous Experiences 'Try Sea Kayaking'

was offered as part of PSM Lifeboat Day, and raised £30 (weather was a little damp) : )

It allowed some young  paddlers (and parents) to experience a taster session in superb kit and quality instruction, in the sheltered harbour area. Next sessions at Port Erin Raft Races - 21st August 2011;

Whilst this was running, the Intermediates led by George Shaw were enjoying the ideal local conditions : )
George passed his BCU 5* Sea Award recently, and his paddling is growing from strength to strength!

The climax to the day was the arrival of the rescue helicopter (rumoured to be piloted by royalty) to give a demonstration rescue involving winching the Island's new Governor. Just as they were setting up it was called away to real rescue in the Mountains...

Family Coasteering - evening exploration

After washing the kayaking kit back at base, we met the family group, kitted up and headed to Peel for an evening Coasteering Adventure along the inter-tidal zone around the Castle, one of our more used routes.
