    I paddled from The Cutts to Drumaheglis marina last summer. I was solo in an inflatable tandem. There was a strong headwind and my arms gave up at the marina. It was heaven going back. Hardly needed to paddle - just steer. There was a lot of algae in the water that day, but I had no intention of getting in it. I was surprised to see people in wetsuits at Camus swimming about.

      It's a lovely stretch of river but it can be a hard pull

    I was predictably confused and amused there for a moment 😂 Glad to see you back in an X500, and not just any X500 but a famous @the-river-rat continuation, it seems! Thanks for the shoutout, and interesting that you actually had colder temperatures than we did there! Went out yesterday in 2 to 4° C with virtually no wind and mostly flat sea water. Just awesome. Some really nice river footage there - happy river ratting!

      Thanks Patrik, It's fun to have an inflatable, which I hope to use during a trip to Scotland this summer. We have some lovely rivers, I intend to paddle the estuary section soon.

    A different ship and a completely different scenery from Taiwan.
    Your wood Greenland paddle is beautiful.

    HI David,
    Hello paddlers lol
    Great video I'm sure it will confuse one or two people at the beginning lol 😊
    I'm so happy you're pleased with the boat and have had a chance to get out with her.
    When you've mentioned before to me about that green weed I had no idea it was that bad and actually made people sick. Let's just hope your government do something about it, but I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you.
    I have to say that really does look like a beautiful spot for a paddle.

      Thanks George, I'm fortunate to have options on the sea, sadly I don't expect there will be much progress with the Lough and rivers this year.

      @@davidpoots8362 That's a shame but at least you have other options. Have to say it again great video, wasn't until I watched it for the second time when I heard you say hello paddler lol 😂

    It seems that the talking is in the x500. I enjoyed this video really much, maybe because it is kind of the video vlogging I do. Your are my favorite vlogger now! They did the same in Sweden with the small railroads. Around 90´s the also have problem with the same, but I´m think the change and forbidden to use the bad fertilize, more natural now. Seems like we also have the same weather now, maybe we have it little colder -3 this morning and going to take the bike to work.
