    I love swimming even in a sea, but I am terrified of it in the same time….i don’t think I’d enjoy being on a sea for a long time seeing nothing but sea….water is certainly not my passion, so I admire when it is for others…but I found inland water to be very peaceful…although it can get wild and scary at times as well…definitely fascinating by wild streams in the mountains, but I love peacefulness of this…never tried paddle boarding only kayaking, but if ever opportunity arises I might give it a try…love all the water videos you made so far. The sunset shots omg!! Treat for an eye 👏 how did those cows got there? 😂 this was a special trip to watch.

    • @StephenJReid

    You could try a kayak, lots of comfort sitting down. You could also try one of the camping blankets to keep warm during the night, I think snugpak do one for under £40. Loved the video, thought at first you would set off from Portglenone and sail to Church Island.
