Solo Paddle Around the Skerries Portrush in my Dagger Stratos

The forecast was awful but there was a weather window and time for a short trip. I left Port an Dhu and paddled round the Skerries at Portrush Northern Ireland. (Skerries is just a name for offshore rocks). Glad I used my stable Dagger Stratos as the sea was surprisingly lumpy on the exposed north side.

So true. Two of the lads took off to enjoy the sunshine with a 6 knot Ebb rush - Magilligan - Strove. That will help them get through the working week. Thanks for posting !

I have only kayaked on the far side of a Skerries a few times. It is amazing how much wilder the ocean side is. There is a channel in the large Skerries which is fun to shoot through on a calm-ish day. Though obviously not safe to try solo without a helmet.

I love playing in there, but it can be challenging (ie brown trousers scary)

Nice one👍

[@davidpoots8362]

Oh yes, they are accessible but still feel wild
