There were plenty of seabirds around too with large rafts of Common Scoters. There may have even been one or two Velvet Scoters in amongst them. They are a little difficult to tell apart until they flap their wings so I gently paddled through them so as to get them to move. Of course they then flew away from me rather than towards me so seeing the telltale white patch on the underside of their wings still wasn&#8217;t possible. Hopefully it was enough for the twitchers on the shore to spot the Velvet Scoters though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"amazon_ad_right\" style=\"width: 260px;\"><iframe style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-eu.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&#038;OneJS=1&#038;Operation=GetAdHtml&#038;MarketPlace=GB&#038;source=ss&#038;ref=as_ss_li_til&#038;ad_type=product_link&#038;tracking_id=alslikklworls&#038;language=en_GB&#038;marketplace=amazon&#038;region=GB&#038;placement=B00R6L0LTQ&#038;asins=B00R6L0LTQ&#038;linkId=585847f26d32d12c6ccc9d8a7be2c4c2&#038;show_border=true&#038;link_opens_in_new_window=true\"><\/iframe>&nbsp;<iframe style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-eu.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&#038;OneJS=1&#038;Operation=GetAdHtml&#038;MarketPlace=GB&#038;source=ss&#038;ref=as_ss_li_til&#038;ad_type=product_link&#038;tracking_id=alslikklworls&#038;language=en_GB&#038;marketplace=amazon&#038;region=GB&#038;placement=B01B2KHTYG&#038;asins=B01B2KHTYG&#038;linkId=922e46136474507d7405fe21b8176628&#038;show_border=true&#038;link_opens_in_new_window=true\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p>It was pretty warm out there as well at around 10\u00baC so I didn&#8217;t try out the new pogies I&#8217;d had as a birthday present.\u00a0I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;ll be plenty of sub-zero days to come.

The crack could then be repaired and reinforced invisibly on the inside.\u00a0The gel coat could be tidied up on the outside and the hole cut into the deck could be converted into a hatch to provide storage space for a dry bag and spares.
