They beat me to it - was planning to recreate the voyage myself next year

I would go for a dry cag and when you can afford it a dry bib - with a set of thermals underneath - that's what I have gone for and i imagine my paddling conditions are pretty similar to yours!

Hello Birdie Wife I am too junior on this site to receive PMs, but if you click on Troller's link below and log in to anglersafloat, you can PM me there, though I go by the the name of novicejock there. It is yellow, the angling version and I got on very well with it.

If you are after a P13 I have one for sale near Kyle of Lochalsh so not a million miles away! Practically new and I have only been out four times. Doing all my paddling up there, I suggest you upgrade asap to a dry trousers and dry cag - don't need to tell you how low water temperatures are, especially if you get into trouble!

Also one of God's chosen, scotsgun, but a mere 16 1/2 stone and 6 foot tall at my playing peak ( nobody else wanted to play tighthead!). Find the Prowler 13 is fine for me but am seriously considering the dorado for bigger seas / longer trips.

Got the kinetic - great paddle, can't go wrong!
