This time we went for a little paddle around the reefs by the lifeboat station with Morgan and his friend Tom, We also met the Passams (Lee, Saffron, Anakin and Cerys) who had brought along a canoe that they hadn&#8217;t had out for years. We\u00a0didn&#8217;t try their canoe out, but it looked a little less stable than ours.<\/p>\n<h2>Canoeing in Borth<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zQrolDyamkc\" width=\"853\" height=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/h2>\n<p>There wasn&#8217;t much in the way of waves but we did get the chance to paddle out through some and to catch a few on the way back in too. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/2016\/canoe-building-workshop\/\">Our new canoe<\/a> certainly\u00a0isn&#8217;t designed for use in the surf, but it seemed to handle pretty well. We just can&#8217;t wait to go off on some proper adventures now. I just need to outfit it with some ropes and various ties to keep everything in place when it&#8217;s loaded up with camping gear. We should do some capsize practise really as well, but I think we&#8217;ll wait for a slightly warmer day for that.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_21688\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Canoeing-in-Borth.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21688\" class=\"size-full wp-image-21688\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Canoeing-in-Borth.jpg\" alt=\"Canoeing in Borth\" width=\"950\" height=\"657\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Canoeing-in-Borth.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Canoeing-in-Borth-200x138.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Canoeing-in-Borth-694x480.jpg 694w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-21688\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Canoeing in Borth<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I also went for a little solo paddle too and she felt lovely like that as well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another glorious sunny day here today even if it was a little chilly.
