When Alex over at the brilliant outdoors blog, Kayak Critic asked me for my top camping meal suggestions for an article he was putting together, I decided to draw on his area of expertise, and ask him a question of my own.
Kayaking on a sheltered lake is enormous fun and relatively easy and safe for all abilities, but heading out on to the open sea requires some basic skills and extra care to be taken
I’m a keen amateur kayaker, but have never battled tides before. Well used to kayaking on the gentle waters of inland lakes like Bala and Windermere, I have been wanting to give sea kayaking a try for some time now. I know that amateur kayakers can sharpen their water paddling skills by practicing more. And utilizing the kind of tour packages provided by Everyday California (https://www.everydaycalifornia.com/products/kayaking-tours) and similar companies might be a good way to go about it. Anyway, Alex was the perfect person to ask for some tips on the subject.
