Round Jersey by kayak. July 08

Not for the faint hearted. This was a big challenge for Ritchie, Calm seas off L'Etac. Sea kayaking in Jersey.Krista, Manuel and Eddie. 11 hours of kayaking 35 miles around the coast of Jersey.

Conditions were excellent but the light head wind at the end made the last few miles to Bonne Nuit hard going just when we’d have preferred a final gentle paddle ashore.

Eddie has raised over £1000 for the Jersey Foster Carers Association. It gave him that extra incentive to keep paddling when the going at times got tough. You can read the story of last years Round the island on our media page.
