alert the rest of the party.

- Each Kayak will have a First Aid
Kit and knife on board.
-
The lead Kayak will carry flares
and will have radio and phone contact with shore. It will also
carry a spare paddle and tow rope. It is important that the party
stays close together at all times - when leaving and returning to
shore and also when fishing.
-
Protection from the sun needs to
be considered, sunglasses a hat together with a thin long sleeved shirt and thin quick drying
trousers may be advisable.
- Shoes must be non slip and
preferably have a marine sole.
- Rods will not carry hooks or
lures on the journey out and back and rods will be securely
fastened to the Kayak.
-
When kayaking on the freshwater
venues it has to be remembered these are reservoirs constructed by
flooding valleys therefore many dangers lie beneath the surface.
-
The Mediterranean Sea has little
tidal influence but dangerous currents do exist and it is
important not to be lulled into a false sense of security on the
sometimes flat calm waters. Any water is dangerous and the
Mediterranean is no different. The sea state can change very
quickly, usually around one o’clock in the afternoon, from flat
calm to choppy. This can become uncomfortable for fishing so it is
best to return to shore.
- Look out for other craft on the
water at all times, remember you are in a small craft so do not
assume they have seen you, be alert at all times.
- The self rescue technique will
be explained before each trip. Guests staying with us will have
time to practice this in our swimming pool
