Paddling From Dartmouth to the Long Island Sound
Every year, a small group of Dartmouth seniors embarks on a 220-mile journey by canoe all the way from the boat docks in Hanover to where the Connecticut River meets the Atlantic Ocean. The expedition—called the Trip to the Sea—gives the students a chance to bond with classmates as the end of their time at Dartmouth draws to a close.

Sea Kayaking Devon - Dittisham - Dartmouth.
A paddle down the River Dart, out into the open sea, passing Dartmouth, and Kingswear. This was a super little trip, and is quite an easy one to do. I put in at Dittisham (Pron. dit - sum) after having a breakfast in Dartmouth. As stated, the tide was all wrong, I paddled against the last 2hrs of the flood tide, until I reached the Castle, and then it turned, ensuring I was paddling against it all day. It didn't matter much, it was a neap tide, and for the most part it was negligible. A spring tide would be altogether different though, and would be much harder work. This is a beautiful scenic area, and must rate as one of the most desirable places in the UK to reside. Some of the Properties, as you will see, are second to none, and personally, if I had the money, I would opt for here, over Sandbanks, in Dorset, any day of the year. But that is personal choice, anyway, see for yourself, and you decide? The trip down river was good, and the passing Steam Train was a real treat for me, but it was somewhat overcast, until I reached Dartmouth. I entered the 'Boat Float' little dock in the centre of town, and got some bacon from the shop for later! From here on, it was sublime, the weather superb, and seemed to get better as the day wore on. The original plan was to leave the Dart, and head for Berry Head, closing the gap from yesterday's paddle, but it was rather choppy out there, and it was too far of a journey to complete anyway. I was rewarded with an hour on the small, un-named beach. It was really excellent, had bacon barms, and a cup of tea, had a small fire, and just generally mellowed out. The return up river in the setting sun was a minor classic, I think, and will live long in the memory. This was my first time use of a Gopro, for Kayaking, and I was somewhat unprepared, with the mounts. This will be resolved for next time.
Kayaking with Seals in Dartmouth
Went out on the kayaks in the evening to see the Seals out side of The River Dart's mouth. An amazing up sloe experience. Recorded with my Gopro Hero 5.

Kayak Fishing - COD, MACKEREL, SQUID, HERRING, WHITING, BULL HUSS - Multi Species Fishing
Multi species fishing on this trip during the Christmas holiday period using both bait and lures. I have a great day catching six different species of fish Cod, Mackerel, Squid, Herring, Whiting, and Bull Huss. The Squid fishing was particularly good and a great way to spend the Christmas holiday out fishing and catching some fantastic fresh fish for the dinner table along with some catch and release. The video has a mix of live commentary and narration with some interaction with other anglers.

Sea Kayaking Cornwall 2013 - Porthtowan - St Agnes.
This trip is most definitely in my top 10 trips, and will probably always remain there!!! This trip, and the next trip, represent the very best of the UK weather, it simply does not get better. We are on the North Cornish coast, famous for surfing, and it was flat as a Witch's Tit. We were VERY lucky to secure a parking spot, at Porthtowan, be very careful here, the Nazi Wardens have rich pickings here, and the parking is in zones, so even though there are NO lines, there is NO parking, and tickets are handed out like confetti. Deliberate entrapment? You bet. Anyway enough of that, we launched on the beach, where the previous week, there had been a surf contest, ha ha, not today, a flat sea, enables us access to all the caves, and gullies normally out of bounds. By the time we rounded St Agnes Head, the sea conditions, and weather were just the ultimate, and the atmosphere at St Agnes, was beguiling. Children's laughter, people's voices, dogs, all manner of sounds normally inaudible, found us, due to the sheer peace and quiet. It really was special, happy smiling faces, enjoyed beach barbeques, lilos, and sit on kayaks, kids, safely swimming, and people snorkelling, it could have been anywhere in the Med on a summer's day, but just for once, it was good old Blighty, pinch me I'm dreaming. The caves and coves are to numerous to recount here, all the best ones are included, but some had to be omitted. The one were I land, and find the footprints on, was paddled right through on the return journey, as the tide level rose, you can see Matt emerge from it, with his torch on. We landed back at Porthtowan at 10.40pm, and just made the bar for a pint. We moved on, that night to Portreath, for the next day, which was even BETTER than this.
