If you haven't already done so, might I suggest an episode on seamanship for kayak fishermen? Thanks... nice video... I realise that a lot of the advice on this video would hold good for fishing kayaks too, but I was wondering if there were any specific things fishing kayakers need to be aware of...

We did try to make it easy for everyone to understand but some things slip by. If you watch the section on crossing shipping lanes again you will see that as John Dowd reaches the designated lane he checks for approaching ships and then turns and crosses quickly at right angles to the direction of the lane. Once past the lane he resumes his previous course.

Manx Marauder - 11 years ago

You guidance for crossing a shipping channel is flawed, you are meant to to cross (paddle or stear) perpendicular to the channel, crossing it in the quickest time. Your description will involve extra time in the channel because of tidal flow, channels invariably in tidal flows by their nature.
