Paddling Planet update Kayaking – René Seindal – Living in Venice Tuesday, 21 May, at 13:04
Paddling Planet has been running for over ten years now, but due to a change of server I’ve had to replace the software behind the site. The old software hasn’t been updated for years, and is by all means abandoned. After a bit of fiddling, I have managed to make things appear not entirely unlike […]

Ban on kayaking in Venice (continued) Kayaking – René Seindal – Living in Venice Tuesday, 21 May, at 11:35

For Sale in Richmond - Specialized Dolce Sport EQ Triple 2014 £300 SimonWillis.net Tuesday, 21 May, at 11:24
It's an excellent first road bike or winter bike. In great condition, it was recently serviced with new kit costing £80.
This is the 'women’s version' of the legendary Roubaix but that doesn't mean a bloke can't ride it!
It has the Zertz shock damping inserts in the forks and seat-stays for a smooth ride.
While the frame is notionally 57cm, that figure is misleading because Specialized (then) measured its women's bikes at different points, so weirdly it's smaller than my mens 56cm Roubaix. Hence the emphasis on height and the suggestion to try it.

Sonder Camino Ti, First ride first impressions - video SimonWillis.net Monday, 20 May, at 15:40
Initial impressions are that it is staggeringly good value.
I specified the top of the range build and it cost £2349.
That's slightly cheaper than listed because I swapped the forks from all carbon to carbon with a aluminium steerer, allowing me to add a front mudguard. This bike will double as my new winter bike, the titanium frame being ideal for Scotland's winter conditions.
As you'll have read, I was looking and trying to buy a Kinesis Tripster but that would have cost £1000 more than this bike. I had set aside the cash for it, so I treated myself to a Stages powermeter crank,...
A Series of Unexpected Storms Woman on Water Monday, 20 May, at 14:00
Who would have thought that we would have 2 back to back rain storms in the middle of May? And more rain forecasted in a couple more days?
We were in denial last week when we saw the weather forecast for the 3rd week of May 2019. We had scheduled rolling lessons, beginner sea kayak lessons, the Big River Walk and Paddle, Whitewater of the Sea, Kayak Safety Clinic, and an Afternoon on the River Benefit. Those plans all got washed out . . .

Corso istruttori di secondo livello FICT 2019 Tatiyak Saturday, 18 May, at 22:36
La scorsa settimana si è svolta la prima sessione del Corso per Istruttori Marini di secondo livello organizzato dalla FICT in collaborazione con l'associazione Stella Polare di Pedaso (Fermo, Marche).
Sono pervenute numerose domande di ammissione ma dopo la prima prova tecnica in mare il numero dei partecipanti si è ridotto ad undici persone, provenienti da diverse località italiane (Trento, Vercelli, Bergamo, Lecce, Pescara, Macerata e Pedaso, con l'unica donna presente giunta da Locarno - Svizzera). Le quattro giornate di lavoro tra giovedì 9 e domenica 12 maggio sono state organizzate anche in base alle mutevoli condizioni meteo-marine e le lezioni di teoria sono state tutte concentrate nell'ultima giornata grigia e piovosa, che ha favorito un ultimo proficuo confronto in aula.
E' la seconda volta che la FICT organizza un corso per istruttori marini di secondo livello e dopo l'esperienza del 2017 a Bergeggi è stato riconfermato il gruppo dei formatori, con "Gengis" Arcangelo Pirovano, Mauro Ferro, Tatiana Cappucci, Enrico Brentana. E' stata invitata anche Laura Mandolesi, canoista fluviale e docente universitaria, che per l'occasione ha proposto una interessantissima lezione sulla psicologia dello sport.

Chestnut re-canvassing Paddle Making (and other canoe stuff) Saturday, 18 May, at 14:42
Been absent from posting for the little while. The next major project involves the Chesnut Playmate acquired back in 2015. I was able to extend the functional use for a few years by filling cracks in the canvas skin but by the time of the late season fall trip last year the boat was leaking considerably. So the time has come for a re-canvassing.
Without a workshop, I've had to wait for the weather to cooperate in order to do any repair work in the back yard. It's been a very cold and wet May, but managed to slowly get things in order.
First up, the shoe keel, brass stem bands and outwales needed to be removed. The former owner painted right over the stem bands so each of the tiny screw heads were covered in paint. It took half a day to carefully scrape away the paint and remove each screw. The outwales were attached with steel screws which have rusted over the last 60 years of the boats lifespan. They were difficult to remove but finally the outwales were off after much persistence. Thankfully, the keel came off very easily. The original canvas was cut away and the wood work of the boat was revealed. The red cedar planking hasn't seen daylight since this...

We enjoyed a relaxed evening on the shore of Loch Shiel, talking late into a clear evening. There was a cover of high cloud when we emerged from the tents which merged into mist towards the head of the loch.

Black Pearl – Bjarne Kristiansen Björn Thomasson Design Tuesday, 14 May, at 18:08
"Hej Bjørn.
Så blev mit første kajakbyggeri endelig færdigt, en BP. Har været ude i den tre gange og synes bedre og bedre om den. Har ikke prøvet at rulle endnu; forlugen har været for utæt – og vandet for koldt! Desværre blev den tungere end ønsket på grund af nogle spartlinger og en vel kraftig sarg, men det mærkes ikke, når jeg ror. Har gjort en masse erfaringer undervejs, dvs. lavet en del fejl, som kan komme mig til gode, hvis der bliver endnu et byggeri. Den er bygget uden finne. Jeg ved ikke om jeg kommer til at savne den. Var ude anden gangen i sidevind og bølger og syntes, der skulle arbejdes noget for at holde kursen. Tror dog nok, at det kun er et spørgsmål om erfaring med kajakken. Den glider fantastisk let og føles ikke ustabil. Bliver uden tvivl glad for den. Tak for råd og vejledning undervejs, Bjørn.
Venlig hilsen
Bjarne Kristiansen

Lite semester från kajakeriet... Björn Thomasson Design Monday, 13 May, at 21:29
Senaste byggprojektet blev en lekstuga åt de nyaste barnbarnen. Den byggdes i sektionen (golv, väggar, delar till taket) hemma i trädgården och transporterades hoppackad som en IKEA-möbel ut till deras sommarstuga i skogen. Nu i helgen var det dags att montera ihop delarna på plats, såga till knutar, vindskivor, vattbrädor, inramninger till fönster och dörrar, veranda, staket mm. När bilderna togs (igår) återstår några ribbor i stakatet, lite målning, beslag till dörrar och fönster och tryckimpregnerat trallvirke till verandan – och på önskemål från beställarna: en liten blomlåda på verandaräcket ;-)
Stilen är mycket traditionell, för att passa den gamla sommarstugan: röd slamfärg, vita knutar, tjärpapp på taket, halvdörr etc – men eftersom sommarstugan saknar spröjsar i fönstren, fick även lekstugan vara utan.
Ett riktigt kul jobb med lagom ambitionsnivå – och så kunde jag skjuta upp det inte lika spännande jobbet med att underhålla/renovera mina gamla slitna kajaker ytterligare en vecka (ja, prokrastinering är jag rätt bra på ibland – för några år sedan blev det en lekbåt för de nu lite äldre barnbarnen, i stället för tråkiga med nödvändiga arbetsuppgifter ;-)

Video - Resipole, Loch Sunart. Highland Openwater Swim SimonWillis.net Monday, 13 May, at 11:32
45 had registered but, after a long period of settled weather, the forecast was not great. Two days before the swim, there was talk of having to call it off.
So when 34 people turned up we were slightly surprised and completely delighted.
Swimming across Loch Sunart to the Resipole Holiday Park (OK, campsite) is an unusual and deceptively difficult swim. We ferry the swimmers to the other side, which adds a little adventure to the proceedings, as they jump from boat to boat and eventually reach the shore.
The swim is 1.6km for the best swimmers, those who can hold a straight line, and considerably further for those who get drifted by wind and tide. Their route more resembles a banana shape.
I spoke to one of the first out of the water, a good swimmer who normally covers 4km in an hour, yet who had taken 36...

Adventures in Sailing, Part 2 Paddling Otaku Wednesday, 08 May, at 23:03
The Bad.
This may piss some people off. Take it with a grain of salt, keeping in mind that I am outsider to the world of sailing, and the comments I am about to make are based solely on my experiences. I will also say that I am difficult, because of three things. My advanced level of outdoor experience, my training as an educator with a focus on outdoor education, and my understanding of how retail and outdoor education mix.
Okay, with that out of the way, the sailing community in the United States - at least in my experience - doesn't understand its potential customers, how to get them, and most importantly how to educate them. Let's break that down.
Sailing doesn't understand its customers or how to get them. Just about every reputable kayaking dealer knows the importance of educating kayaking customers. I live in the southeast US, and near me I can take kayaking lessons from no less than three different outdoor retailers. One of those retailers offers kayaking lessons from Alaska to Florida, and Boston to San Diego. I use kayaking as an example because that is what I do, but it is equally true for mountain biking, rock climbing and backpacking. I had a very hard time finding access to sailing instruction. I finally found a wonderful instructor based out of a yacht club that is very welcoming to new sailors - and I had drinks with a friend who had a similar experience in Georgia. Once you are hooked up with a yacht club, life is prett...

Sea kayak award with two special guys... Tatiyak Tuesday, 07 May, at 22:13
It was a pretty special starting point.
That was a strange call: "I've always heard about you but I've never heard you... so, it's like I'm hearing the voice of Mick Jagger right know!" I've always tought my voice is much more similar to a duck rather than a singer and I felt honoured to be compared to a well-known male singer with a very distinctive voice! A good start indeed.
Last week I've run an old three star course with two new students, two very different human beings: one in his thirties and the other in his fifties, one from Bergamo (far from the North) and the other from Rome (close to our new town), one was a rugby player and the other was a musician, one activist/theorist learner and the other reflector/pragmatist learner, one in a too smal plastic boat and the other in a perfect size fiberglass boat. A perfect match I was not perfectly sure where it should has lead us to...
The two students are completely different but... they work together in an extraordinary approach!
I'm always deeply surprised how much the passion for the same outdoor activity do connect people!
Sea kayaking is one of those sports that put people together in a very special way!
Said that, the course was one of the most intensive, accurate and funny I've never run. Indeed....

Magisk påsk i Fjällbacka GOTT UTE OCH INNE Tuesday, 07 May, at 19:15
Påskpaddlingen 2019 startade på grusparkeringen strax innan bron norr om Fjällbacka. Vi har haft flera väldigt fina påskturer på västkusten, men den här slår allt. Bara så magiskt bra. Nu var det skärtorsdag och vi paddlade förbi de första fiskebodarna i norra Fjällbacka. Himlen var blå, solen strålade och det fanns inte den minsta lilla pyttekrusning på vattenytan. Så fortsatte det på fredagen. Och på lördagen. Och på söndagen. Och…. ja – ni fattar, eller hur? Bara så magiskt bra. 
Katarina och Karin begick sin Fjällbacka-premiär så vi passade på att visa dem några av de speciella ”sevärdheter” som finns i skärgården: statyn vid Ingrid Bergmans stuga, grytorna på Långeskär, fiskaffären i Grebbestad, den lite märkliga Björnåsen. Givetvis en promenad till lotsstugan på toppen av Dyngön. Som turens clou lyckades vi till och med ta oss ut till Väderöarna och en sväng ner till stugorna på Hamnerö. Det blir liksom inte bättre än så, eller hur?
Höll i paddlarna gjorde Helene, Katarina, Karin, Björn, Challan, Jesper och jag. Övernattningar och gott om häng på Lökholmen, Långeskär, Stora Måkholmen och Porsholmen.
