Looks the biz all right. Where will you be giving it the first taste of salt?

Probably in around Dun Laoghaire Hugo, plenty of shelter

Perfect spot for this time of year. Nothing like that round here tho - I expct you'll have seen this already:

Brilliant video, defo a place I was to visit. Gotta be some good pollock round those parts

There are ok, but there's been a lot of netting the past few years. Further west along the cliffs at Belderrig is a place called Horse Island that's separated from the land by a very narrow channel. Its reputed to be the haunt of monsters - pollock, conger, wrasse etc. Too tight for a boat, hard to get to on foot, but perfect for the kayak....
