Chippy,

 

Again, on the plastic jobs,you can fit water tight hatches for such items as your camera.

When useing a yak its a good idea to have a leash on most of your kit.

The saying is....RIG TO FLIP ........DRESS TO SWIM.

 

Although, I expect the inflatables have net storage on them,or pockets of some sort.

I can see your point about storage and carrige,

as with all yaks there are play offs, its what suits your personel needs and circumstances.

 

 

Cheers

So how much is a canoe or kayak cos i might have a bash close inshore Mull of Galloway - how much is a decent life jacket!

Chippy:

Which reminds, me.  I read an interesting article on this months Dive magasine about an inflatable diving Yak ....

ROFLMAO - when I read the first sentence I tried to picture a 'diving kayak'. Mind boggling thought.

 

Although an inflatable would dive if you punctured it I suppose.

There was something hanging up in the marine fishing/tackle shop down at the harbour in Jersey that looked like a floating log. Chippy might like to take a look if he has not already done so.

I am going to stick to my beach rods, too much money invested already etc.

That is my excuse anyway

Hi Snatcher

Are you local to the Mull of Galloway or visiting?

 

Reminds me of a story from a few years ago.

On a spring tide, the Mull has a 6 knot tide race and even a moderate Southerley will create 6 ft high breaking waves.

I saw a canoe/kayak ( I don't know the difference)

in the race. Against my better judgement I went into the race to perform a heroic rescue, only to be told the Kayakist(does that sound right)was practising for a white water competition.

 

Scary, if you ask me

Is that in Iron Stores Marine? I'm might pop down and have a look.

 

The one I'd seen in the dive mag were made by Sevylor:- Dive Yak

 

I thought the little trap door was a cool little feature.

 

 

I reckon it would be great for getting into the little bays at the bottom of some of the cliffs on the north coast that are too tight for a conventional dive boat to get into.

Ian I have been holidaying at the Mull for about 8 years(bunch of drunken Geordie fishermen!) You even pulled our boat out of East Tarbet with your tractor one day cos we were stuggling. Have cracked a glass with you in the Ship before! Now own a static van at the Clash cos I love the place.Did you know that old Jackie McQuarrie is now wheelchair bound due to arthritis!What a character - never play him at dominoes for money!Up at the clash next weekend,fancy a bash at Ardwell back bay. We must have a pint or three together sometime matey.

Could fancy a days tope fishing with you lot sometime this year.When is the best time to give it a shot and do you provide the gear/bait etc.How far in advance do you have to book and what would be the cost for a days fishing?

See you up the Mull shortly mate
